This is the story of my dismissal as the Catholic Bishop of the
Diocese of Toowoomba, in Queensland, Australia. It relates, from my
perspective, the dealings I had with various Congregations
(Dicasteries) of the Vatican's Curia in Rome and with certain
cardinals and officials in those Congregations, as well as with
Pope Benedict XVI, regarding pastoral activities and a letter I
wrote to the diocese in Advent of 2006 while the Bishop of
Toowoomba. The book details the background and events which led to
my being asked by Pope Benedict XVI to resign as Bishop of
Toowoomba when I had a meeting with him in Rome on the 4th of June
2009. I did not agree to resign, but negotiated with Pope Benedict
to take early retirement which was announced on 2 May 2011. The
book is accompanied by various Appendices of documents and letters
from this period, including several letters from cardinals in Rome
and the pope. Some of the documents and the Appendices have already
been published in various places or are in the public domain in
some way. They are published here again so that these documents are
all in one place. The book has been written to give the story from
my perspective of what happened in the lead up to my taking early
retirement after refusing to resign. In the view of a number of
civil lawyers, canon lawyers and theologians, both here in
Australia and overseas, I was deprived of natural justice as I was
in no way able to appeal the judgments or decisions that were made
in these circumstances. This was made clear to me by the three
cardinals in Rome with whom I had most contact over the time and by
Pope Benedict XVI himself.
