More Letters regarding St. Stanislaus

An Aug. 8 editorial about the standoff between Archbishop Raymond Burke and St. Stanislaus Kostka Church's lay board suggests that Burke is somehow punishing "the most dedicated and loyal believers" by his actions.

That is an astonishing conclusion. If the lay board members are truly dedicated and loyal, wouldn't their virtues also include obedience to their bishop?

I'm still waiting for an explanation from the lay board why St. Stanislaus is entitled to special treatment, while every other parish in the archdiocese obeys the bishop and conforms to modern church law. On this issue, dedication and loyalty seems to be found everywhere in the archdiocese except at St. Stanislaus Kostka.

I think answers to the questions that Jim asked would be welcome, if not revealing. I doubt, however, that anyone will respond.
