Archbishop Burke would deny Majerus Holy Communion

And what is the problem with this? As shepherd of the Church in St Louis, Archbishop Burke has no choice but to take this action. People with big mouths telling the world that they profess to be Catholic yet, by publicly supporting abortion "rights," deny the intrinsic evil of abortion, deny that it is murder - should be disiplined. After 35+ plus years of re-affirmation of the natural moral law and the Church's perennial teaching on the matter, it is a stretch to presume that Majerus speaks out of ignorance...

While Hillary Clinton was courting votes, Rick Majerus was courting trouble.

First, he said he was "not going to go there."

Then, he did.

The Catholic basketball coach for the Catholic St. Louis University looked into the TV camera at the Clinton rally last weekend and said, "I'm pro-choice, personally."

That's when the Roman Catholic coach ran smack into the Roman Catholic archbishop.

[...]

"If SLU wants to have a policy of, 'you have to be Catholic and believe the Catholic way,' SLU wouldn't exist," said Laura Willingham, research assistant in SLU's School of Medicine. "Should (Majerus) have said it publicly? There's freedom of speech."

Yes, my dear, Laura, there is...there is also the fact that Majerus has caused public scandal in the Church, for which he must now make amends...This "freedom" works in both directions - to publicly support the pro-choice position, he has hs chosen to reject a fundamental aspect of the faith - and he's free to do that. He must now understand the consequences of his actions.

Harold Bush, an English professor who is president of the SLU Faculty Council, said it's unrealistic to think that people affiliated with the university don't have different viewpoints.

More meaningless drivel from another clueless professor...Some people are unable to grasp the simple concept of scandal.

The Rev. Lawrence Biondi, SLU's president, did not respond to interview requests. A spokesman for the university, Jeff Fowler, said Majerus was speaking for himself, not SLU, at the Clinton rally.

"Rick's comments were his own personal view," he said. "They were made at an event he did not attend as a university representative. It was his own personal visit to the rally."

Horse hockey! As a public figure, he indeed represents the university whether he likes it or not....Does one think that the media approached him because he was an unknown? Or was it likely that they were curious why a professed Catholic would be supporting a pro-death presidential candidate?

"The situation has to be disciplined," Burke said Tuesday of Majerus' comments. "You can't have a Catholic university with one of its prominent staff making declarations that are inimical to Catholic teaching."

AMEN!!!
