GOD BEAT

If you haven’t heard yet, the six-member lay board of directors at St. Stanislaus Kostka church in St. Louis, and the priest from the Diocese of Springfield Cape-Girardeau they’ve hired to be their new pastor, have been declared excommunicated by Archbishop Raymond Burke. Burke has also said St. Stanislaus will no longer be recognized as a Roman Catholic parish in the archdiocese.

In our Saturday story, I wrote that the most recent U.S. excommunication we turned up was from 1996, but I’ve had some phone calls over the weekend with tips about more recent excommunications.

I’ll try to verify those, but in the meantime, does anyone else know of any recent excommunications?

Also - feel free to weigh in on the St. Stanislaus excommunications…
By all means, feel free to post...There's plenty of comments and some of them actually make sense.
