Why did Judge Anne Burke leave the National Review Board?

This is a question posed by Catholic Citizens of Illinois. They say, "Ask her May 16th at the Voice of the Faithful sponsored reception in Wilmette, IL after Mass..."

For those of you who wondered what was going on when Anne Burke showed up at the last Call To Action convention as a headline speaker, you won't be terribly surprised to see one of her first public appearences post-NRB is a Voice of the Faithful sponsored event at the hip, liberal Saints Faith Hope and Charity parish in Wilmette, Illinois, as announced at their website, as follows:

A Special Parish Sponsored “Mass of Healing and Renewal”
Sunday, May 16, 2004, at 11:30 A.M.

With so much attention necessarily given to the investigation within the Church to the magnitude and scope of past clergy misconduct, it is time to step away from all the details and “come together as a parish” to pray for healing, reconciliation and renewal for the victims, their families and for the Church. It is only the Lord that can bring the ultimate peace and renewal necessary to so many injured by past offenses. Our guest presider and homilist for the Mass will be Bishop John Gorman, retired auxiliary bishop of Chicago and significant past contributor to the development of the Chicago Archdiocesan policies for clergy abuse which became the first model for many dioceses. Bishop Gorman is a clinical psychologist, past rector of St. Mary of the Lake Seminary and former pastor of St. Michael’s parish, Orland Park, Illinois. We are also delighted to welcome back Justice Anne Burke, acting chair of the Catholic National Review Board, who will be available for questions and answers immediately following Mass.

Please place this important spiritual event on your calendar. The local Voice of the Faithful Committee is graciously hosting a short reception following the Mass.

Sincerely, Father Kevin J. Spiess, Pastor
