He wished to make the Pope, the cardinals and the bishops face up to their responsibilities regarding the hidden menace weighing on this pontificate, something they were far from being unaware of. Several years later, the scandal will be publicised by the press ,although it failed to move an indifferent public, cf. infra, p. 339. 40. Liber I, p. 69, extracts. 41. Ibid., p. 85-86. 42.

The idea was that, having been forced out on to the streets, everyone would be picked up on the pretext of having disturbed the public order, something which a few agents provocateurs would see to, and then we would be expelled from Italy. As I was able to appreciate on Wednesday, this is a method which is systematically applied in Rome to expel undesirable foreigners!” “What happened at Rome”, op. cit. 58.

The Swiss Guards were themselves very impressed by the Abbé de Nantes and his friends. We would learn this a few months later from the father of one of them. Their superiors had actually declared that the Abbé de Nantes was a dangerous man who wanted to kill the Pope. Now, the one whose testimony was communicated to us, was able to observe the Abbé de Nantes before the Bronze Gate on that 10 April 1973, and he noticed his dignity, his calm and his devotion, so much so that he could not understand why their superiors had warned them so strongly about this priest. 67. In his book, Mes six papes. Souvenirs romains, Cardinal Jacques Martin would argue from the allegedly ridiculous and inadmissible character of the Abbé de Nantes' complaint in an attempt to excuse his own cowardice: “16 April [sic] 1973. A burlesque event: the coming to Rome of the Abbé Georges de Nantes to hand the Pope a Liber accusationis, inviting him to resign and to recognise that he is 'heretical, schismatic and scandalous'. I arranged for the lampoon that one of his sidekicks had handed to the Prefecture of the Pontifical House to be taken back to the hotel. The following day, at the Wednesday general audience, another one of his fanatics, stepping over the railings, attempted to put it in the Pope's own hands. Booklet and person were both handed over to the Italian police for examination.» (Mes six papes. Souvenirs romains, Mame, 1993, p. 150-151) 68. CRC no 67, April 1973, p. 3, extracts.
