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.

Points well made and certainly conceded. It is noinetheless a pleasure to see an archbishop display backbone in the face of defiant disobedience by those who excommunicated themselves by their gross misbehavior.
