A large contingent of folks from St. Louis here in SWMO (Springfield)seem to think Archbishop Burke is the bad guy here...each of them go blank when asked about the history regarding this argument..slats, you had a great concise background of this about a month ago, could you provide us with a link??

I can understand this, particularly if the source of "knowledge" is the secular media. The link to the Brief Synopsis was here.

...has SLU Theology dept ever signed the Mandatum???

To my knowledge, no...but they do continue to allow the V-----Monologues to be presented each year...All for the glory of God, I imagine.

St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish has been given the Archbishop's assurance that as long as the parishioners continue to worship at St. Stanislaus Church and continue to support the parish, it will not be closed.

From your synop. I wonder if this wording is what is of so much concern to the board? I have no way of knowing, but it seems that if the parish is really just a heritage/cultural type thing, and the board sees less and less people in the future ....

?Who knows? Either way, if they are going to be Catholic, they need to be under the Bishop!
