St Louis receives Archbishop Raymond Burke today!

St. Louis gets archbishop with high national profile

Burke, however, may find implementing the kinds of policies he did in La Crosse more difficult here in St. Louis, some say. Greeley points out that most priests Burke's age are much more liberal than he is, and it is those priests who dominate the St. Louis diocese.

"That would be a problem in St. Louis," Greeley said. "Priests have become independent minded and contentious, particularly of that generation. A new bishop can no longer assume that the priests will all rally around and support all the things he does. Rather, he will face an attitude of 'Show Me.' You have to earn your leadership."
That's right! Many of them have become independent minded and contentious "protestants"! What is this "You have to earn your leadership" garbage? What has happened to the the virtues, to their vows, to their faith?

Hopefully, Archbishop Burke can remedy that situation.
