The 'conservative' bishop, his house and his shyness

Below is a sentence from a letter the Bishop of Limburg wrote to the Catholics of the diocese some time ago.

"The bishop’s house is our common house, and it is open to you all."

Proof positive how delusional a person can become.

Bishops' palaces/homes are usually the most 'aloof' buildings in town. Who would ever dare think that  a bishop's home was 'open to all'.

Indeed, usually, bishops are sealed off from the fellow Catholics in their diocese.

Ever try to make direct contact with a bishop?

The Bishop of Limburg is considered a conservative bishop who has difficulty communicating. The 'silent' priests, the priests who say nothing.

The old story. It eventually gets tedious as does all the bluff, spoof and nonsense.
