Apostolic Nuncio with the rank of an ambassador
.

History of the Nunciature

The early twentieth century was a very difficult time in France-Vatican relations because of tensions over Church-State separation (laïcité) and

anticlericalism, which were condemned by Pius X, and which led to the freezing of relations.[citation needed
]

However, relations were renewed after the

Vichy regime, because the regime rewarded the Church even though some bishops sometimes opposed antisemitism.[citation needed] During this period, the Holy See's dilpomatic mission moved to Vichy, first establishing itself in the Hôtel des Ambassadeurs.[1]

Relations with the Sarkozy government were relatively good, given the fact that the government has announced an end to the ban on recognition of higher Christian institutions.[citation needed]

On 30 September 2019, it was revealed that then nuncio

Rome, Italy.[2] On 17 December 2019, Pope Francis accepted Ventura's resignation, which he submitted upon turning 75 on 9 December.[3] On 11 January 2020, Pope Francis appointed recent Russian nuncio Celestino Migliore nuncio to France.[4][5]
