The archbishop of Paris announced canonical proceedings Wednesday against a parish priest for reportedly refusing to follow coronavirus health measures at the Easter Vigil.
A statement from the Archdiocese of Paris on April 7 said that the pastor of Sainte-Eugène-Sainte-Cécile church in Paris’ ninth arrondissement did not enforce “the health measures in force to fight against the COVID-19 pandemic during a celebration on Saturday, April 3.”
“These measures were, however, the subject of clear instructions that the diocese of Paris regularly reminded all parishes of,” it said.

Owen White Traces the History of the Algerian Vignoble

When the writer Louis Bertrand looked back on the time he had spent in Algeria in the 1890s, he characterized one place in particular as “the kingdom of wine.” What he had in mind was not some hazy plain of vine yards, but rather Belcourt, a rough-edged district of Algiers close to the port. On the surface this may have seemed an unusual choice, for the neighborhood’s only grapevines grew within the state-run experimental garden, the Jardin d’essai. Instead of vines, however, Bertrand was thinking of the many people of French, Spanish, and Italian descent who made their living in Belcourt’s barrel workshops or wine storehouses, or by equipping the horses or repairing or driving the carts that transported the barrels from vineyards to the docks.
