Removed flag of French Republic; France has been a secular state since 1905.

I removed the flag of the Fifth French Republic icon from the Infobox, in accordance with several sections of WP:ICON; specifically (quoting),

  • Generally, flag icons should not be used in infoboxes, even when there is a "country", "nationality" or equivalent field: they are unnecessarily distracting and give undue prominence to one field among many....
  • Flags make simple, blunt statements about nationality, while words can express the facts with more complexity. [Nice (Nizza) was for many centuries part of the Duchy of Savoy, of the Kingdom of Sardinia, the French Republic (of the Revolution), the Empire of Napoleon I.]....
  • Do not rewrite history. Flags should not be used to misrepresent the nationality of a historical figure [including some bishops], event, object, etc. Political boundaries change, often over the span of a biographical article subject's lifetime. Where ambiguity or confusion could result, it is better not to use a flag at all, and where one is genuinely needed, use the historically accurate flag.
