Update: 7/8, 4:30. Left yesterday a voice message with the chancery and one with with the papal nuncio, explained context, polite message. No reply 24 hours later. Called today the chancery, receptionist cut me off mid sentence transferring me to the bishop’s secretary who was overbearing, seemingly in response to my repeated attempts, would not tell me her last name, me consistently being polite but firm, when I said that was rude and and I’m in contact with the nuncio she immediately brought the call to an end, as in hung up on me, all documented. Reported incident by voicemail to nuncio (the second message with them). By now, after almost a week, someone would have responded to acknowledge receiving the messages. Based on the bishop several times ignoring my consistently polite attempts to get his help (Re several past incidents with priests, etc., long story), this is why I’m pressing this. If I did it more slowly, past experience clearly indicates we’ll still get blown off. We are treated like we are not Catholics or citizens. Or human beings.
My last email asked for a response by Friday.
Update: 7/7, 4:30. It’s been 3 business days since my first email, 4 if you include last Friday, but that was July 4th weekend for most a 3 day weekend. Still no reply from the bishop, chancellor, vicar general, any diocesan representative, or anyone from the US Nuncio office. Emailed all again asking please for at least a reply acknowledging receipt of our emails/requests. Asked to reply by end of business day this Friday, or we will have to conclude they have chosen not to provide the pastoral care we request, even if hypothetically we were “excommunicated.” I also left a voicemail asking for a reply.
