Excerpt from The Interpretations of the Bishops, Their
No printed copy of any form is known to exist. This fact has been used as an argument to prove the document to be without authority. This, however, is an untenable contention. A document was printed if required for wide circulation, and then printed copies may or may not survive. But this document was drawn up to shape episcopal policy, and therefore, if printed at all, only a few prints were necessary, as it was not intended for general parochial use, so that it is no surprise to find that there are no prints to be found of such a document as this. To establish its importance, contemporary evidence is wanted of its use in diocesan administration, and there is abundance of such evidence in connexion with this document, and of a con vincing kind.
