4 For example, it is urged that article 5 of the Concordat, which excludes ex-priests from employment by the State, is against article 3 of the Constitution which declares that all Italian citizens haw ‘equal social dignity and are equal before the law, without distinction of sex, race, language, religion, political opinions or personal or social condition’. Again, Protestants in Italy quite often complain that they are not treated in the spirit of articlc 8 and article 19. A summary of these and other such grievances is published by ‘Il Messaggero Evangelico’, Rome: I Patti Laterunensi by G. Vingiano. On the juridical basis of the actual Church-State relationship see Bobbio and Pierandrei, op. cif., pp. 173-8.
