Paris cabinet in danger after clash over bishops war
Paris January 3 The cabinet’s survival is in doubt after a heated clash in the chamber of deputies between Prime Minister Clemenceau and Education Minister Briand over the bishops’ modus vivendi. Briand seeks to show the church is sincere and pause reform while Clemenceau rejects discussions and aims to issue a circular to prefects prohibiting concessions. The dispute spills into questions of church property and government power, with Briand hinting at possible resignation and Cabinet reshuffle if needed. Cardinal Richard denies the bishops issued an ultimatum and warns against suspending public worship.
