I received this via email this evening. It comes from those parishioners "in exile", so to speak. These are people who know first-hand what's going on...Maybe those who are so quick to judge Archbishop Burke might learn something from these people.

Dear lrslaterry,

Nice post.

What is most interesting is that it is the BOARD OF DIRECTORS that immorally, and possibly illegally siezed control of the parish away from the archdiocese.

I wonder why they don't want an independent audit of the books???

As far as the parishoners go, it doesn't even matter if Archbishop Burke was right. That's not even the real issue here. The real issue is the rogue members are denying their parish access to the Sacraments, and probably will break away from the Catholic Church for good.

I have no idea if Burke is right or not, but he is the Bishop and should be listened to (unless he is clearly breaking canon law.) I really doubt this is the case because the Bishops usually have a lot of fiscal power in their dioceses. I know they can shut down churches, so it seems likely that what he's doing regarding St. Stan's is legal.

The vote NOT to let Burke get his hot little hands on this church was nearly 300 to 5.

I'm assuming you were sent this propaganda from one of the 5 who voted to give Burke another 9 million dollars in assets to devour?

Thank you very much for posting this.

Although, I don't know that Catholics around here are that divided any more. For a while, yes, but not now.
