Shut the heck up and learn what you speak about.”On June 27, 2008 Pope Benedict XVI elevated Archbishop Burke to the office of Prefect of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura, a position equivalent to that of Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, or President of the Conseil d’Etat of France. As such, immediately after the Roman Pontiff, Burke holds the highest judicial office in the entirety of the Roman Catholic Church.”

No, I will not “shut the heck up” about something I DO, quite well, know something about, considering Burke was archbishop in my archdiocese and my parish is the cathedral. I never said the man doesn’t know canon law and isn’t a great canon lawyer, and for the sake of the entire church, isn’t in the right spot - but, he’s NOT a good administrator. He should have a red hat by now and doesn’t. There’s a lot that isn’t known. Like I said, around here, it is believed that he was Peter Principled up, and a lot of damage control is under way.
