The '''Briand-Ceretti Agreement''' is a 1926 agreement whereby French [[diocesan]] [[bishop]]s are nominated by the [[Holy See|Vatican]] after a process involving the [[Minister of the Interior (France)|French Ministries of the Interior]] and of [[Ministry of Foreign Affairs (France)|Foreign Affairs]].<ref name="georgetown1">{{cite web |url= http://berkleycenter.georgetown.edu/resources/countries/france |title=France |work= |publisher=[[Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs]] |date= |accessdate=2011-12-15}} See drop-down essay on "The Third Republic and the 1905 Law of Laïcité"</ref>
This agreement saw the resolution of an impasse whereby the Vatican had refused to recognise the Associations Cultuelles voted in the 1905 legislation in the spirit of the 1901 [[Loi sur les Associations]] and accepted by the Jewish and Protestant religious bodies. The agreement made possible the forming of Associations Diocésaines with members appointed by the bishops.
