A letter to the bishop from the office of the Apostolic Delegate apostolic delegate: see legate.  in Ottawa stated that the presence of a bishop at a conference on married priests "would be a great source of possible scandal and confusion to the faithful."

"It is the desire of the Holy See," the letter said, "that you remove your name from the proposed speakers' list and refrain from attending the aforementioned conference.

Bishop De Roo declined comment, though conference organizers said that he had notified them by phone about his decision to cancel his speech.
