Letter sent to Bishop Bactol from St. Alfonso Monastery

Most Rev. Filomeno G. Bactol, DD
Diocese of Naval
6543 Naval, Biliran, Philippines



Dear Most Rev. Filomeno G. Bactol,

Consider this:

Can. 401 ß2 a diocesan Bishop who, because of illness or some other grave reason, has become unsuited for the fulfillment of his office, is earnestly requested to offer his resignation from office.

Because of your immoral behavior you are unsuited for the office of diocesan Bishop.

It is good for the Diocese of Naval and the full Catholic Church that you submit your resignation to the Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI.


Sincerely, in Christ and
Our Mother of Perpetual Help,


Stephen M. Greinke, MBPH
