The Vatican and France

The Vatican and France.—The French government arrested a priest at Grenoble the other day for his presumably incendiary teaching. The magistrate fined him. The priest refused to pay his fine. His bishop upheld him. Pius X wrote to the bishop and praised his attitude. As a Catholic paper, the Western Watchman puts it: "The Holy See threw diplomacy to the dogs, and spoke right out, counselling open rebellion." The incident may open the whole controversy between France and the Vatican again.
