My Dear Brother Rodolfo,
Thank you for your letter. Sometimes, politics and the ways of the Church are not as pure as perhaps you wish they were. The world is the world of men. Yes, you say, God has given it to us, but we must live in the world as it is, amongst men, some of who are both very powerful and not entirely receptive to our message, Such is the King at this time, or at least so are his envoys.
Perhaps, my weakness is a terrible sin, and the concessions I granted them will lead me to hell, as you suggest, but equally, it is possible that your pride is also perhaps a little sinful. I do not know. I have learnt that we are at our most vulnerable when we judge others harshest. I beg you to reconsider your plan to leave the mission. We need your energy here, amongst men.
Perhaps, as you say, God calls you from the east, as once he called the magi, but firstly, I would like to remind you, the magi traveled west and your journey from The Mission is an extremely perilous one. Like you, I believe in acts of blind faith, but unlike you, I do not believe God wants us to be stupid. Please stay in California until I arrive next March.
I implore you to show wisdom, loyalty and humility at this profoundly difficult time for all of our brotherhood in the New World and to refrain from making this perilous and vainglorious journey alone. Our very survival depends upon it.
Sincerely
Cardinal Blanco
