A note left in Santina's Shrine

[Anthee]

Friends,

I will be in secluded prayer in a far-away place for a time. Not to worry, I had decided this already before Gausim's new announcement. I will return in a few days.

In the meantime, I would appreciate it if you paid extra attention to your comings and goings to and from the shrine so that no malicious individuals can sneak in. I doubt anything is going to happen but it is good to stay alert.

If one of you could find out whether this new decree changes anything, legally speaking, I would appreciate it. My understanding is that article 18 is unchanged, there is no new law, and it is up to the magistrate or legate presiding at a trial to interpret the law. Essentially, I would like to know if a legate's decree can enforce a particular interpretation of the law outside of any trial, as Gausim makes it sound like.

I look forward to seeing you later this week. Be well and safe. Santina bless you all!

Always yours
Sofia
