Gloria in altissimis Deo et in terra pax hominibus bonae voluntatis!
Holy Father, please excuse me for the late hour in which I write this letter. You surely know the state of which the church of Sweden is in that I told you about in my previous letter, and although your gifts has been much appreciated there is still a lot of work to be done. I am however sure that Our Father and his highest servant on Earth, your Holiness, appreciate what I do and in the name of the Son, the Father and the Holy Ghost I do what I have to do with joy in my heart for I know that what I do is done in His name and in the interest of His servants in the archdiocese of Sweden. Thus, I cannot possibly be dissatisfied by the work He has lain upon me, isn't that so your Holiness?
Holy Father, it has come to my attention that one of the worst abscesses on the body of the church was one of the closest servants of Birger Gregersson, may his name be damned for eternity. Bishop Petrus Xtianus, Peter Kristiansson, has like Judas betrayed Jesus violated your Holiness and your church's trust by misusing his high office to exercise heretic practices within the very walls of the second most majestic cathedral in the archdiocese of Sweden. Only God knows how many of His houses in Västergötland Peter has soiled, but such offences cannot be unpunished.
Holy Father, It was in Stockholm where I had the relevation that the bishop was a false man, and when he did not show up at the royal council called by his Majesty the king of Sweden I knew that it was true. I then put all the church's resources I could spare to find this man, and when we finally found him he was hiding in a parish church with a monk with unknown identity like a simple thief. The fact that he was indeed inside the church practicing heresy disgusts me greatly, and I can assure you that he will get the proper punishment for his sinful acts.
Holy Father, this is why I now again wish to ask you for councelling and that your prayors will again be turned to Sweden for we are indeed going through a tough time. The heresy of Peter Kristiansson must of course be punished by death for in the Holy Scriptures Judas dies after betraying Jesus to the Romans. I believe that the death must be painful for his sins are great, and although his immortal soul will suffer immensely in hell I also think that his body must be put to pain, so that his successors will think twice before they repeat his despisable actions. Remember that he was your servant and that he has betrayed your church and thereby your holiness personally by such acts.
Thank you for all you do for Sweden, and please let us all make up for our sins, and let us also reenter the path of the faithful.
Signed and sealed by his own hand in Stockholm,
Pax Vobiscum,
Henricus Caroli, Episcopus Ubsaliensis, Prima Suecia
