Medicinal Censure To Be Imposed by Archbishop Burke

St. Louis Archbishop Raymond Burke said Tuesday he would withhold the sacraments of the Roman Catholic church, including Holy Communion, from board members of St. Stanislaus Kostka Catholic Church.

The announcement came in the form of a one-sentence press release Tuesday morning, stating that Burke's "extraordinary patience in dealing with the board of St. Stanislaus Kostka has officially evaporated."

[Archbishop] Burke has said the interdict is a "medicinal" penalty, meant not as punishment, but rather to "bring people around, to wake them up to what they're doing and the seriousness of it."
