BISHOP TAKES QUEEN Raymond Burke is highly traditional. That's why he received the final vows of a transgendered nun. By Malcolm Gay

This crap reads like it's right out of the National Enquirer, and makes absolutely no sense.   What is "That"?
Pretty pathetic and lame attempt at a smear.

"Julie Green is living a lie!" writes Mary Therese Helmueller in an October 25, 2002, letter to Archbishop Gabriel Montalvo, Papal Nuncio to the United States. "[She] is a transsexual, a biological male. He is really Joel Green, who had a sex operation to make him physically appear as a woman...."

If Mahoney did this out in LA, the vultures would be all over this thread, condemning him, posting pictures of clown masses, and heaping ridicule.

Watch them try to explain this away.

Burke then asked the conservative Latin-rite religious order, Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest, to perform the Tridentine Mass at what was formerly St. Mary's. In February 2002, the order's superior, Monsignor Timothy Svea, pleaded guilty to exposing himself to and molesting teenage boys.

Uh-oh.

I'm sure Burke is fostering the same unity among the priests of St. Louis.

I'm sure.

Actually it's not a smear. It was explained in the article.

Burke, apparently, invited some fringe religious orders, with one or two people, to come to LaCrosse because they were "traditional."

Some in those orders were not exactly psychologically healthy individuals.

The article has at least TWO facts dead wrong. Svea was NOT the superior of the ICK in Wisconsin, and was NOT a Monsignor.

But he was convicted and is in the slammer.

What a crock,huh?
