**Slavic Old Catholic Churches, mainly Polish, Croat, and Yugoslav**

Would this explain all the uproar in the Archdiocese of St. Louis over St. Stanislaus?

In other words, on the surface — I really didn’t follow those threads that much — it appears that Burke was correct in closing it.

St. Stans is a complex issue. It is a case study in how even well intentioned disobedience can lead to schism and then heresy. There are elements of the battles between the Latin and Uniate rites, battles between Americanism and Tradition and of course, egos and more egos. At the end of the day the Bp. did what he had to do. He was absolutely right according to canon law and I am certain heartbroken over the necessity. The outcome is even worse. Very sad.
