I am a supporter of St. Stanislaus Parish and not at St. Johns. I believe Archbishop Burke will see one of the problems he alone has created when the Arch. Development Appeal is in full swing and the goal is not met. I personally will double my usual contribution to the appeal and send it to St. Stanislaus as a protest to the Archbishop. This will be so noted on my pledge card. I predict that there will be a 20% drop from last year.
What do you mean when you say that you are supporter of St. Stanislaus Parish not St. John - St. John's parish has nothing to do with this conflict. Do you still believe in One Holy and Apostolic Church or maybe you think it is not as Holy.... If yes, than what makes you questioning the Roman Catholic Church hierarchy and its operational principles? Are you against Archbishop Burke because you are against Roman Catholic Church hierarchy or because you formed your opinion about him after reading "Riverfront Times" and board of directors blathering. Do you consider yourself just Roman Catholic or liberal Roman Catholic, or maybe ultraliberal Roman Catholic?
Perhaps we should let lay people to take over not only parish governance but also Archdiocese finances. In fact - perhaps we really do not need bishops in diocese and priests in parishes, they are just standing in the way, aren't they?
