Bishop Burke is doing just as the Scriptures say in 1 Corinthians 5 and taking the position of administering church discipline to those who behave in contrary ways to Christian norms. It basically prescribes making the offender an outcast until they repent and behave in the proper manner. A form of tough love. I really commend him and Christ is giving him the courage to stand up.

Amen to that. There used to be a time when these scoundrels had to do public penance in sack-cloth and ashes.
