The bishop's attorney wrote the letter telling this woman to stay away from St. James!
Every indication is that everybody was fed up with eight years of harrassment. It's up to Allegiers to decide if she wants to remain Catholic sans her busybodyness.
Well, then pardon me. I was slamming the priest for going beyond his authority. If the bishop is on top of the situation like that, then, of course, he has assumed such grave responsibilities, but those responsibilities do belong to a bishop. (Hence, St. John's warning that "the highway to Hell is paved with the skulls of bishops;" he wasn't stating that bishops are evil, but rather that their responsibility is so great that failure to fulfill it properly leads to their own damnation, and to the damnation of many others.)
The fact that the letter comes from the bishop should also be taken by the woman that the bishop has heard the stir and has done or is doing what he deems appropriate. Her course of action, then, would be to go to the bishop, make nice, get readmitted to the parish, and deal with matters through the bishop from then on. Why is she still harassing the priest?
I wish I could say that my doubts of any wrongdoing are settled by the bishop's actions, but it does at least demonstrate that the woman;s interests are not in faithfully resolving whatever problems she sees, but rather in making a stir. If that is because all she knows how to do is make a stir, I truly pity her.
