This was a detailed investigation report, with a summary and directives at the beginning.
It was apparent that it must have passed through several hands. Although there were no visible deletions or revisions, its contents showed different layers, different perspectives, and even different stances.
What Norton had given him was probably the complete compilation.
First came what were presumably directives from the Order Temple:
[This incident marks a grave dereliction of duty and failure of oversight in the Church Headquarters' daily administration, sounding an alarm that the devotion of believers has begun to decline.]
[The Church Headquarters must reflect deeply on this incident and guard against the history of Light repeating itself in our church.]
[Further reform concerning matters of faith cannot be delayed. The Light of Order should shine upon every believer wherever possible.]
Next came another set of directives, presumably from the Church Headquarters, or rather... that particular circle within the Round Table Conference:
[The catalyst for this incident was the Divine Temple's mishandling of the situation. The Divine Temple should reflect on the soundness of its own operating model.]
[Had the Church Headquarters taken charge of this incident, such an extreme outcome would never have occurred. This "cleric" had worked quietly as an inquisitor for decades. It was the Divine Temple's arbitrary interference that changed this state of affairs.]
[The Divine Temple should pay greater attention to its own duties and refrain from exerting excessive detrimental influence on church administration. Only then can a recurrence of this incident be prevented.]
Precisely because the Mink Street Incident had such a tremendous impact, it had become an opportunity for confrontation between the Church Headquarters and the Divine Temple. Neither side was willing to accept responsibility.
Kallen felt that the next set of directives must have been left by Norton,
