Sarkozy Seeks to Confirm Collaboration With Catholic Church

VATICAN CITY, OCT. 8, 2010 (Zenit.org).- French President Nicolas Sarkozy visited Benedict XVI today to confirm constructive collaboration with the Catholic Church, after differences that have arisen in recent months. 

A communiqué issued by the Holy See affirmed the "joint desire to maintain permanent dialogue at various institutional levels, and to continue constructive collaboration on matters of mutual interest."

 Some positions assumed by Sarkozy's government have caused a distancing of French Catholics who supported the president in the 2007 elections.
