More "SoundOffs" from The Post about Abp. Burke & Jamie Allman

The real story

I think Jamie Allman needs to get the real story from Archbishop Raymond Burke before he starts flapping his mouth off about the people of St. Stanislaus. The truth is, after he sets up the irrevocable trust, he's going to stack the deck in his favor with him being the boss. I think that needs to come out to the people itself, then Allman should preach it that way instead of telling half-truths like the archbishop does.

Could this possibly be from one of the board members or one of those who minds have been corrupted with lies?

Worth investigating

Is it true that possibly the last person who was the spokesman for the archdiocese and Archbishop Raymond Burke got fired for speaking out for the people at St. Stanislaus? If that is the case, Jamie Allman got a good job and being an investigative reporter, he needs to tell about it.

An Executive Director of Communications should do what his superior asks him to do, provided, of course, that what is asked is morally good, or at least morally neutral. If one is unable to obey the lawful commands of a superior, one should resign the position. The public has not been informed (to my knowledge) of the reason(s) for the firing of the previous director of communications, Jim Orso.

If it is due to the suggestion as stated above, then he was undermining the efforts of the Archbishop and clearly deserved to be terminated. Jamie Allman's position surely does not include that job duty of being an investigative reporter and reporting his findings to the public.

But, as Executibe Director of Communications and Spokeman for the Archdiocese, he, more than likely, is involved with the issuing of press releases, answering media questions for the Archbishop when he is unavailable, and numerous other tasks related to Archdiocesan programs and staying abreast of news and events having an impact on the Church in the St. Louis area. My observations could be incorrect, but it is what I understood him to indicate while he was still on the radio just prior to his assuming his new position. Of course, one could always call Jamie Allman at the Archdiocesan Office of Communications...The number can be found here.
