	IN DEFENSE OF FATHER GRUNER: A SUMMARY
		In 1989 the Vatican Secretariat of State began to "activate" the Congregation for the Clergy as its tool in the suppression of Father Gruner’s apostolate.
		This letter was clearly the product of coercion by the Vatican Secretariat of State: it was issued only days after a face-to-face meeting in Avellino during which the Bishop told Father Gruner that he had no grievances against him and that he should return to Canada—where he had been with the Bishop& permission since 1978.
		As the apostolate’s size and influence grew, it came to be targeted for suppression by members of the Vatican Secretariat of State, who regard the specific consecration of Russia as a diplomatic embarrassment that would run counter to the Secretariat of State’s policy of Ostpolitik.

		I put on the table in the Vatican my own reasons why war might be necessary (not the reasons of the American government, for which I had no authority to speak), and also ways in which it could be avoided.

		The archives that will be open-- containing primarily documents from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (then known as the Holy Office) and the Secretariat of State-- relate to Vatican dealings with Germany and Austria.
		While the Secretariat of State supplies most of the documents found in the archives, the role of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith was a particularly important one in the era leading up to World War II.
		At least one expert of the history of Vatican diplomacy, Father Pierre Gumpel, has expressed regrets that the incomplete archives are being opened; he suggested that it might have been preferable to wait until 2005, when the complete archives for the pontificate of Pius XI will be available.

		The Secretariat of State is the prime office of the Holy See, and of all the dicasteries within the Vatican, it works most closely with the Pope.
		Moreover, the Secretary of State has considerable influence over other Vatican offices because the prefect of a Congregation does not choose his secretary or undersecretary; they are chosen for him, and they are chosen by the Secretary of State.
		Since the Secretariat has so influence at the Holy See, it is no accident that many officials from the Secretariat move up to positions in charge of their own dicasteries.
