[Canticle_of_Deborah]

There is a particular place in Hell for those who let their land lie fallow while people starve. The sheepfold are apostasizing, angry, dissenting, combative, etc., and most bishops appear to be lying in hammocks. Abp. Burke is one of the few bishops who is using the authority God gave him,

The laity were given the deed to the parish in 1891 by the Archbishop. How is refusing to give up something which was legally given to them an act of apostasy or dissent? Granted, the situation is irregular, but God did not give bishops the authority to take what does not belong to them. That is stealing, and using sacraments as leverage could be considered a form of simony.

If Burke and Rigali before him were so concerned about the laity, why didn't they crack down on the liturgical abuse of the polka Mass?
