Vatican talking to Paris about Stefanini

(ANSA) - Vatican City, May 26 - Vatican Secretary of State Pietro Parolin said Tuesday that dialogue was "still open" with the French government over Laurent Stefanini, the person Paris had nominated to be its next ambassador to the Holy See.
    According to media reports, the Vatican has not accepted Stefanini's credentials so far because he is gay. "The dialogue is still open and we hope that the question can reach a positive conclusion," Parolin said on the fringes of a ceremony.
