Talk:Sant'Ivo dei Bretoni

contradiction: " ...national church.. in Rome dedicated to 'France' (Brittany)" - wrong: dedicated solely to the Breton Nation.
The church is dedicated to Brittany and the Breton Nation, not France and the French 'nation'. We must distinguish between 'nation' and 'state'.

It stands on the site of a previous church and hospice for Bretons given in the XVth century by Pope Nicholas V to the Duchy of Brittany, then independent of France. The modern church is still dedicated to the Breton nation: Brittany may be part of the French 'state', but its people remain a nation (not a view shared by French Republicans, I admit.)

See the plaque there bearing the inscription: DOMUS HOSITALIS ECLESIE S. YVONIS NAT.BRITANIE - hospice of the church of Saint Yves of the BRETON NATION.
