The '''[[Aristide Briand|Briand]]-[[Bonaventura Cerretti|Cerretti]] Agreement''' is a 1926 agreement whereby French [[Diocese|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|publisher=[[Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs]]|accessdate=15 December 2011|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110206213909/http://berkleycenter.georgetown.edu/resources/countries/france|archivedate=6 February 2011|df=dmy-all}} See drop-down essay on "The Third Republic and the 1905 Law of Laïcité"</ref>
==Description==
This agreement saw the resolution of an impasse whereby the Vatican had refused to recognise the Associations
In the case of the [[Concordat]] dioceses of [[Strasbourg]] and [[Metz]] it
The Briand-Cerretti agreement came after the forced retirement of the Benedictine [[bishop of Metz]], [[Willibrord Benzler]], in 1919 and only provides a very vague analogy for the depositions at the [[Liberation of France]].
Among the many consequences of this agreement was the reluctance 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.▼

The 1926 agreement also involved the maintenance of liturgical honours (seating, incensing) paid to French consular personnel in the former Ottoman territories. This practice is now believed to have fallen into abeyance.▼
