Letter to Rome -- and the response
Last April, just after the Pope visited the USA, I sent a 15 page email to him. In it I quoted the victim from Boston who told him there was a cancer in his church. I went further to say that the cancer was in the form of the hierarchy. I encouraged him to look deeply at the problem, and to go so far as reprimanding/punishing/remove for office those bishops who were complicit in the cover up.
In July, since I had heard nothing, I printed out the email and hand delivered it to the Papal Nuncio in Washington for it to me forwarded on to the Vatican.
Again, months passed. The response? I received a phone call from the ARCHDIOCESE OF BOSTON stating they had been notified by the Papal Nuncio of my letter to the Pope, and asked if there was anything more they could do for me, besides or in addition to the counseling etc.
I guess that means my mail to the Vatican never left the United States! Another frustration with the hierarchical set up of the church!
