OUTLINE
I. Post-War France
Political Parties and Charles De Gaulle
II. Angelo Roncalli in France: A. I leave everyone else the surplus of cunning and so-called diplomatic skills, while I am satisfied with my good nature and simplicity of feeling, word and manner. The end result always favors those who are faithful to the teaching and the example of the Lord.
B. Diary: To go out on pastoral visits pleases the bishops, the priests and the lay people; they invite me. The service I give to the Holy Father in this way is evident; but His Holiness does not prefer it this way… I would rather shed my blood and abandon everything than offend the Holy Father.
C. Free School issue
D. Worker-Priest Experiment. The worker priests appear more than ever to be in contrast with the priestly spirit.
III. Devastation in Post-war Eastern Europe
20 million killed in Soviet Union; 25 million displaced
half a million square miles devastated.
