Re: Papal Love Letter To Bamberg

I knew you'd have it, thanks!

Yeah, the podcast has talked about the bond between a bishop and his diocese being a sacred, indissoluble marriage in this period. But usually in the context of a bishop *wanting* to move to a more prestigious diocese (like the Merseburg/Magdeburg example the article mentions), and either being told, "No, you can't do that, you're married to your flock," or "Okay, but there will be a scandal."

But that mother-in-law imagery of Clement's regarding Rome as the mother of Bamberg is really something!

For the record, cahn, it's something like: "You, Bamberg, are my true love, and we've been happy with each other, and then THEY went and sort of divorced us and made me move in with your MOM (Rome)!"

Also: "Your mom is very sick (from a disease called 'heresy'), and I have to take care of her! But I haven't forgotten you, and no matter how far away I live, I will use my newfound authority to care for and protect you. <333 forever."
