Your Holiness Pope Francis,
We are very concerned that a whole year after the dismissal by Rome of
Msgr. Robert Bezak, Archbishop of Trnava in Slovakia, no reasons have
been given for this proceeding.
Therefore, we address ourselves to your Holiness with an urgent request
to personally assume this case and to restore human dignity to this person
and credibility to the Church.
We sign this on behalf of many Christians in Austria, neighbouring the
archdiocese of Trnava, who are putting their trust in you.
