ZOT!
say what?!?
the Archdiocese did exactly what any party should/would have. In fact, the Judge absolutely should have recused himself because of that letter.
It was about St. Stanislaus violating their agreement with the archdiocese by appointing their own pastor.
If they hadn't broken the agreement, they wouldn't be in this situation.
Two years later -- in October 2009 -- that private correspondence between judge and archbishop would make its way into a court filing involving a protracted legal battle between the Archdiocese of St. Louis and members of St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish over control of the church's property.
