A lot of bishops complained about Athanasius too. So what?

The idea that Burke has interfered in other dioceses simply because he doesn’t conceal his opinions, is just silly. He has not pretended to authority he doesn’t possess; he has only spoken his mind.

Burke was removed from St Louis for the same reason Athanasius and John Chrysostom were removed. He commits truth, and can’t seem to break the habit. Not everyone is truth-tolerant. It’s a spiritual problem.

The Sacraments all are interwoven, Kolo. You can’t tamper with one without corrupting them all. If I can get a second marriage because things stink, then so can Jesus. By those standards, he deserves it far more than I. You really want to go there?

You usually show more good sense than this.
