Line 5:
In the case of the [[Concordat]] dioceses of [[Strasburg]] and [[Metz]] it is the [[French President]] who, after consultations with the Vatican, makes the appointment.
Among the many consequences of this agreement was the reticence to appoint ordinaries likely to call into question the spoliations and expropriations that the French church underwent between [[1790]] and [[1905]]. The veto has been rarely used but its existence induces caution in [[nunciature]] circles when proposing candidates. Disagreements are known from time to time to occur (e.g. a reference by the former ambassador to the Vatican Jean Guégenou on France-Culture on 13 July 2009). The system also indirectly ensures that, almost without exception, [[French citizens]] alone are employed in Catholic administration and schools in France.
