New/previous bishop for Toowoomba - A leaked letter! (Main Forum)

This draft letter has been forwarded to me by an 'informed ' source. (They're leaking all over the place!)

-----------------

Your Eminence,

I have not had cause to write to you for some time (actually three days to be exact) but I must, once again, draw your attention to the Diocese of Toowoomba here in Australia.

In your last correspondence to me (marked ‘For your eyes only – shred after reading’) you quite clearly stated that the ‘rebellious and dissident’ (my words) bishop, whose name will never pass my lips, had been dispatched into the ‘outer darkness’ never to be heard of again.

At the recent installation of the ‘new’ bishop his ‘predecessor’ was not only present but actually handed the Crozier to him and ‘led’ him to the chair. As you will know there are no provisions under Rubrics 67, 123, 487, 1249, 1344, 1788, 2976, 3489 and 5238 for these ‘acts’ and I understand, from a colleague who has studied all the documents of the Council of Trent, that there was no discussion of these ‘acts’ there.

In addition, I attach a photograph taken during the ceremony; I would advise that before opening the attachment that you are seated and have taken your blood-pressure tablets.

The garland, which had been presented to the new bishop by someone who was, not only, a ‘foreigner’ but also a ‘woman’, should not have been worn during the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and certainly not where there is a particular set of liturgical vestments specified in the rubrics.
(I’m sure that you will be aware of the relevant Rubric Article Numbers which were violated by the wearing of this Floral Garland [it wasn’t even May] but should you have any problems in this respect I have a whole team of Faithful people (two, in fact) working, at this very moment, on providing Chapter and Verse).

Your next course of action will be to write to the ‘new’ bishop and remind him. not only, of how you dealt with his predecessor but the level of support which he can expect from his ‘fellows’. Also inform him that he is being ‘watched’.

I am sure that we are consubstantial in this matter and that I can, once again, be certain of your swift response to ‘stamp out’ these transgressions.

Forever FTTM,
PC 49.
