Another St. Stanislaus Letter to the Editor

Stop 'harassment' of St. Stanislaus

To the Editor:

In light of what is going on at St. Stanislaus Church in St. Louis during the past few weeks, I feel compelled to say something on their behalf.

I think it is obvious that when Archbishop Burke looks upon St. Stanislaus, he sees only dollar signs and he is threatening blackmail if the members of the church do not yield to his wishes.

I am not a member of the Catholic Church, but this is not a question of religion, it is a question of what is right and what is wrong, and it is not right to steal from your fellow man.

Christ taught us to love one another and to love your neighbor as yourself, not harass them.

Mel Marshall

Apparently, Mr. Marshall has no firm handle of the facts, and presumably he has not read the account of the situation as documented in the St. Louis Review by Archbishop Burke.

I know that I, too, am prone to rash judgement at times, and it is terribly embarrassing and shameful to falsely suggest motives for others actions without factual knowledge.
