This is exceptional.
Back in the early 1970s letters would arrive from Archbishop's House concerning clerical behaviour. Everything about the letters, from the address to the final signature was pompous, pretentious and arrogant.

Back then I imagined. Now I know
I believe that style, that mind set has not changed, maybe getting worse.
