The response by the Church Attorney to Bishop Bruno’s appeal:
The Opposition of the Church Attorney to the Appeal of the Respondent
“Respondent’s appeal is based upon false assumptions and presents an erroneous description of the 3 charges.”
“Respondent’s appeal should be denied”
Conclusion: “Respondent’s conduct directly attacks the discipline process of the Episcopal Church. Respondent’s conduct continues his personal vendetta about a congregation. Respondent’s secret effort (even from his own church) to sell the church in the midst of the Title IV proceedings undermines the integrity of the process. We are dealing here with a bishops who has, at every turn, attempted the thwart and obstruct the disciplinary processes of the Episcopal Church. We are dealing here with a bishop who believes has authority over the property held by the Corp Sole – even consecrated church properties. We are dealing in short with a rogue bishop. The Disciplinary Board, to uphold the disciplinary process of the Episcopal Church, should promptly affirm the Sanctions Order of the Hearing Panel.”
