Archbishop's letter disturbs St. Stanislaus Kostka board

But Tuesday night, after a much shorter second meeting, one side wasn't talking and the other was decidedly less upbeat.

The reason was a letter, written by Archbishop Raymond Burke just after last week's meeting, to the parishioners of St. Stanislaus in which he reminded the parish that their complaint against him to the Vatican had been rejected last month, and then laid out his vision for the handing over of their parish.

Archdiocese representatives would not comment Tuesday night, but St. Stanislaus board members said the particulars of the deal outlined in Burke's letter were different from those they had heard in the meeting last week, and that they had pointed that out at Tuesday's meeting.
Something about this story just doesn't sound right...It's inconceivable that Monsignor Vernon Gardin, and the lawyer for the Archdiocese, Bernard Huger, were not communicating Archbishop Burke's position or that they were unclear or did not speak to the Archbishop about the meeting. I'm not certain that this account is truly credible.
