Archbishop Burke to Penalize St. Stanislaus Board Members

St Louis Archbishop Raymond Burke has decided to issue the church penalty of interdict against the six board members of St. Stanislaus Kostka Catholic Church, according to a spokesman. The penalty means Roman Catholic sacraments would be withheld from those who are covered by the interdict order.

A parish spokesman fired back, accusing Archbishop Raymond Burke of using the sacraments as a "bargaining chip" in a dispute the parish considers "about raw power and greed, and not about the teachings of Jesus Christ."

[Archbishop] Burke has not said when the interdicts will go out, said Jamie Allman. In a one-sentence news release issued this morning, the archdiocese said Burke’s “extraordinary patience in dealing with the Board of St. Stanislaus Kostka has officially evaporated.”

Frankly, Archbishop Burke has much more patience than I. Rebellion and flagrant disobedience are things with which I have little patience. Remember to keep him in your prayers as the attacks begin once again...
