"Opposing the highest authorities in the Church and being suspended “a divinis” is a serious and very painful matter for a bishop. How is it possible to endure such a thing, unless for extremely serious reasons? And yes! The reasons for our behaviour and your behaviour are serious reasons: it is the defence of our faith! I have done work very similar to what I have been doing for thirty years. And now, suddenly, I am suspended “a divinis”, perhaps soon to be excommunicated, separated from the Church, renounced, who knows? Is this possible? Could it be that what I have been doing for thirty years was also grounds for suspension “a divinis”?"
