I thought that Cardinal Burke was the head of Vatican version of the judicial side, in other words, its version of a “CJ” or chief justice?

Interesting. Do you know who does, or is it not down anymore?

A well-versed friend says (more or less) that his position is like that of the chief justice of an almost supreme court.

CJ Roberts could (though one hopes he wouldn't) say that Zimmerman ought not to be allowed to own a gun. But it doesn't count for anything until the case makes its way to his court.

So unfortunately one has (I BELIEVE -- I don't know this stuff)to hope that
(1)the bishops of the diocese where she might want to present herself to receive would take some action; or
(2)the Holy Father who has "universal jurisdiction" (again, I'm just pretty sure that's true) would act.

The reason I think the Holy Father could is that he just defrocked and excommunicate a priest in Australia. So, a fortiori I would think he could slap an interdict on Pelosi and Sebelius. And I wish he would for the good of their souls and as consolation for those of us who approach the altar with Obamacare supporters fore and aft.
