AND, Archbishop Raymond Burke, as you well know, excommunicated Fr. Bozek and the trustees. He represents the Roman Catholic Church in the Archdiocese as they do not and never will. Those who refuse him obedience are not his flock nor, q.e.d., are they Roman Catholic because they revolt against him with no cause whatsoever, which his decree of excommunication formally recognizes.
The excommunicati can crawl back on their hands and knees in total and utterly justified humiliation (preferably pushing peanuts with their noses on rough pavement while attired in sackcloth and ashes) for months on end in record cold and, maybe, just maybe, Archbishop Burke will be so nice as to allow them back on probation. If he is not so nice, that will work for me.
After 120 years of bad behavior now crystallized as outright revolution against the archbishop's authority, enough is enough. The archbishop has apparently indicated an intention to suppress the pareish under the circumstances, at which point it can become the Union Band Church of Jesus Christ Fire Baptized or the Second Reformed Church of St. Che Guevara or the Church of the Holy Roll for all I care so long as they stop sullying the name "Catholic" by misappropriating it after their excommunications.
The excommunications delight this Catholic and I doubt that they hurt Archbishop Raymond Burke at all.
To all who keep poisting that Burke excommunicated Bozek and the board: he did NOT. They excommunicated themselves. That is what laetae sententiae means: automatic. Burke only declared, made public for the good of souls, that these people had excommunicated themselves and gave the relevant quotes from the relevant canons. Even if he had wanted to, Burke could not have un-excommunicated these people, nor can he in the future unless they bring themselves into compliance with Church law. As for now, St. Stanislaus is now a protestant church with a protestant pastor. Until they quit protesting against the Church, they will remain protestant.
