...overlapping of the Hungarian diocese of Estergom, the German diocese of Breslau. Last week these points of friction and many another were neatly sanded down by the announcement that a modus vivendi had been signed between those two suave soothers of states and souls, Dr. Benes and the Papal Secretary of State, Pietro Cardinal Gasparri...
