Your Appointment

Letter 2,16 - to Bishop Paulinus. 29 February 592.

"We want you to know that we have written to our brother and fellow bishop Maximian, to put your Fraternity in charge of the church of Lipari on our authority, and it is necessary for you to obey him in all ways.
We bid you to devote yourself properly to the interests of that church, and we want you to complete without delay everything which you recognize as needful for its benefits. But you will visit the church of Taurum whenever you believe it an opportune time."
