Mr. Peter Boylan:

No, I have not. The only thing I have seen is the letter I appended to the papers, which is the reply from the Vatican that mentions permission being "for the reasons presented" in the application to the Vatican by the Sisters of Charity. The Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life, which is the Vatican body that makes these decisions, studied the documentation submitted. We have not seen that either. It granted the request in conformity with the petition, which we have not seen. It also said, "The provisions relating to the validity and lawfulness of alienations", that is, the transfer of church property found in several canon laws, "are to be observed." In other words, there is Canon Law imposition on the validity of the transfer of the Sisters of Charity's property into St. Vincent's Holdings. We have not seen any of those papers and we need to.
