Priesthood

Quote from Letter 6,40 to Rufinus, bishop of Bivona. June 596


(W)e strongly suggest with this letter herewith that you ought to look for a cleric for the same church [of Nicotera], whose way of life and morality could be suitable for this office, and you should hasen to concecrate him, with the help of the Lord.
