Burke is a champion of orthodoxy. What’s the matter with you?
As for opportunities, whether you know what you’re talking about or not, Cardinal Burke is clearly acting without regard to career consequences — a little of the fourth century mettle that one likes to see in a hierarch. It’s a shame the Orthodox churches have gone squishy on marriage; you shouldn’t smack a good man to compensate for your own sensitivity on certain matters.
Burke is a canon violating heretic and the subject of numerous complaints from Orthodox patriarchs on down and has been for years. I don’t doubt that you Latins are happy to disregard the canons of the early Church but I am surprised that you will go to mattresses for a hierarch whose was notorious for hiding child molesting pederast priests, quite aside from his reputation as a diocesan tyrant, a man willing to intrude himself in violation of the canons on a regular basis into the affairs of other dioceses. Why do you think he was removed from St. Louis and sent to Rome a la Bernie Law? You’ll rip the Latin Church apart for such a creature?
