Yeah, in fact this town is so Catholic that I always smile when there's a snowstorm. When I watch the school closings scroll across the screen, half of them start with "Our Lady...". :) I went to a Jesuit law school right here in town.
I'm actually a big admirer of Archbishop Burke. He got my thumbs-up when he went after John Kerry, almost right after his installation in '04, and told him not to bother with seeking communion anywhere around him. I think he did the same thing with Guiliani. I give him a lot of credit for that. At least HE'S being consistent with the faith as given.

He’s a good example. The group that were ordained in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s tended to wander away from the Church authority and over into liberation theology and similar nonsense. Fr. Pfleger is an example of those that, as they leave (one way or another) are being replaced by spiritual and religious Catholics.
