I, unlike you, am not dependent upon the MSM or even the internet for my understanding of what is going on in St. Louis. I clearly understand the situation better than you do. Notice how you did not actually dispute any of the points I made?

"There is no excuse for what Burke did to the 130-year old Roman Catholic parish." Burke needs no excuse. He is the proper authority in the diocese. The parish lay leaders are violating canon law. There is no excuse for that. They have also been thoroughly dishonest and have repeatedly tried to make this an issue about money when the money isn't leaving the parish. The layboard is in a state of rebellion. They refused to obey canon law. They refused to follow tradition. They refused to be obedient. When they didn't like what they were told they created a new sect. They are in a state of schism. There's no excuse for that -- EVER.

***I clearly understand the situation better than you do.***

If you understood at least 10% of "the situation" you would fully support St. Stanislaus parish. I have known a few GOOD Roman Catholic Bishops and I have known a few bullies, so I know exactly what a GOOD Bishop is, and Burke isn't anywhere near that category. He needs to repent and ask for forgiveness before it's too late.
