“A Pastoral Letter on Consultation in the Parish” by Most Rev. John Keating, Bishop of Arlington, Virginia, 1984.
I’ve search the net for this document by the late Bishop of Arlington but have been unable to find it. Perchance an Arlingtonian, priest or layman, might know where I can find it?

I was entirely unaware of this!

DiLorenzo Says “No” to Richmond Diocese Split
Link via Don Jim and Amy Welborn and whoever else has linked to this already today.
This has been a rumor for years in these parts. Speculation abounded for a time about where the split would occur, who would be the new Bishop, whether it would affect Arlington as well, what would become of the Richmond or Arlington priests who might be around, etc. I am very glad all this has been put to rest, at least for now. Bishop DiLorenzo has plenty of work to do without splitting the Diocese.
Look whose bright idea this was:
The idea of creating a new diocese in eastern Virginia was raised in 2001 by the Rev. Thomas J. Quinlan of Holy Family Catholic Church in Virginia Beach. The diocese’s Council of Priests subsequently agreed. Sullivan backed the initiative and sent it to the papal nuncio, the Vatican’s representative in the United States.
