The study focuses on the period of the First Czechoslovak Republic, when the Apostolic Nunciature in Prague was vacant and represented only by chargé d‘affaires, who were in charge of the Vatican embassy. During the interwar period this happened twice, in 1925–1928 and 1934–1935, in both cases for appeal of the Apostolic Nuncio to Rome. In the 1920s and 1930s, the Nunciature was headed by very able officials who analysed the political-religious situation in the country and informed the high Vatican circles about important events in Czechoslovakia. At the same time, they attended negotiations regarding the future Apostolic Nuncio to Prague. The Czech-Vatican relations were strained and significantly disturbed; in fact, the situation could have easily escalated into an open rupture. It is neverthlees owing to to the activity of the above-mentioned officalis that the Holy See and Czechoslovakia avoided a complete severance of diplomatic relations.

This paper presents a very interesting and important episode from Archbishop Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli's; Roncalli was then Pope John XXIII who in the years 1944-1953 was Apostolic Nuncio in Paris (France). The problems and affairs of Polish emigration in France were not alien to him. This emigration after World War Two numbered 750.000. The Nuncio was vitally interested in Polish affairs, a fact that was expressed in his encounters with Polish Primate Cardinal August Hlond, Bishop Józef Gawlina, and with successive rectors of Polish Catholic Mission in Paris: Fr. Franciszek Ciegiełka and Fr. Kazimierz Kwaśny. Owing to his suport, among other things, the 1924 contract was kept valid after the war. It regulated the principles of Polish priests’ pastoral work in France. The Nuncio in various ways supported the PCM and others Polish Catholic institutions in France. Polish affairs remained important for him after he was elected to the Apostolic See.
