Unfortunately, it is utterly counter-productive to write/phone the papal pro-nuncio. The papal pro-nuncio collaborates with bishops when the flock complain. Essentially, the papal pro-nuncio uses your message like a bomerang - send him a message and you should expect that an exact copy will be sent to the bishop you are complaining about. Any Catholic who thinks he can send the papal pro-nuncio private information regarding misconduct in his diocese should anticipate that the bishop will know have everything that you gave the pro-nuncio.

Hey, that could be a good way of letting rogue bishops know that we're on to them and not afraid to go over their heads. Maybe we should include in these letters to the Nuncio and indication that we intend to send the information on to Rome or better yet TO GO PUBLIC. That should make the hair stand up on the back of some necks, eh?
