The Holy See's ambassador to the United States is His Excellency Gabriele Montalvo. Catholics wishing to be heard in this matter (especially now, before "reformers" and innovators hijack the agenda) should write him directly at:

His Excellency Gabriele Montalvo
Apostolic Nuncio to the United States
Embassy of The Holy See
3339 Massachusetts Ave., NW
Washington, DC 20008
202-333-7121
fax 202-337-4036

The correct for of address for Archbishop Montalvo is: "The Most Rev. Gabriele Montalvo." The correct salutation is "Your Exellency;" and the complimentary close is "Asking the Your Exellency's blessing, I am, Yours respectfully, (Name)."

Thanks for the address, Romulus. I will be writing, even though I think His Excellency will probably regard me more as a revolutionary than a reformer.

Excellent. I beg you all, please write and use father_elijah's plan for ideas. Anyone have a link handy? I don't seem to have it bookmarked!

Your post is interesting.

I think part of the reason these Cardinals and Bishops acted so scandalously and with impunity, is that they are just treated too deferentially by the laity.

I would write to Mr. (Fr.) Montalvo:

Dear Most Excellent Dude,

The jig is up. The decades of arrogance, hypocrisy and condescension of the high-level clerics toward the Word and toward the true Church and faithful, is about to come to an end. And none too soon. You guys have been read the riot act, over and over again, for the past THIRTY years, by the Wanderer folks and other orthodox Roman Catholics. You totally blew them off (sic).

My advice is for you to resign, and have about two-thirds of the hippie, heretical, cathedral-destroying, homo-enabling, American Cardinals and Bishops do the same. Likewise any of the multitude of priests who want to get out before the indictments start rolling off the assembly line. And, can you guys please pay for your own lawyers, like I do? I'd like my Sunday offering to go somewhere besides down a rathole.

Asking for Dude's Most Excellent Blessing,

Respectfully, caddie

I think that letter has the appropriate tone.
