Vatican documents seized in Paris may embarrass readers
The Figaro reports documents from the papal nunciature include a dispatch from Cardinal Merry Del Val urging Catholics to oppose church inventories under the law on church state separation. It cites papers from Mgr Gaspari for use in the French electoral campaign and notes Montagnini's diary of talks with French political figures. The papers reportedly do not prove Premier Clemenceau or ex-Premier Rouvier sought direct Vatican negotiation, though notes suggest hoped understanding.
