I am not bringing charges but voicing suspicion. I said that was sad. Burke is an orthodox bulldog, which I like, but the temporal authority of the bishops over Church property always worries me. As for the lack of evangelization, drive Union Rd. from the city limits to Lindbergh and look for an open Catholic church.
Regarding money, there has never been a question that the money and all the other temporal goods of the parish belong to the parish, as is the case with every other parish in the archdiocese. I have no authority to seize the funds of any parish for any purpose, no matter how noble. My interest in the right ordering of parish life at St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish involves money only to the extent that it includes the stewardship of the goods of the parish, according to ecclesiastical and civil law, and the vigilance over the administration of the temporal goods of the parish, so that they are used for the good of the parish. For that reason, from the beginning, I have insisted that a public audit of the parish's goods be conducted, so that there could be no question of any misappropriation of the parish's goods.
