Visiting Churches

Letter 2,23 - to John, bishop, visitor to Nepi. March 592.

"Although we have imposed the task of visiting the church at Naples upon Paul, our brother and fellow-bishop, your Fraternity should not for that reason desist from undertaking the visitation of the church of Nepi, so that when the Easter festival requires it, whatever the solemnity of the sacred rites demands may be fully implemented, with your assistance."
