| Summary: | "The Holy Father granted the petition for dispensation from celibacy and all obligations connected with ordination to the priesthood for a priest incardinated in a diocese of the United States. The voluntary petition was sent to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in accord with the provisions of Sacramentorum sanctitatis tutela. The diocesan bishop attempted several times and by various means to notify the priest of the dispensation. The priest refused to respond to all efforts of the diocesan bishop to contact him. After a lengthy process, numerous efforts and significant cost to the diocese, the diocesan bishop contacted the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. The correspondence between the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and the bishop follows." |
