Pope Approves Address on Church Contracts in France
Paris February 10 The Temps prints what it claims is the true history of the French episcopate address proposing model contracts for churches. Ultramontanes favored the status quo but agreed to submit to Rome the question of contracts, with Cardinal Merry del Val later saying the Pope would accept the principle if episcopal solidarity was shown. The document reportedly was drawn up and issued in the name of the whole episcopate, though many bishops had not seen it before publication.
