"Pray tell us where you stand on bubba & kerry campaigning in church, attorney Birnbaum. And what other free speech issues do you wish to censor?"
My sentiments exactly ! I live in Wisconsin (30 minutes from "40 square miles surrounded by reality" otherwise known as Madison) and have been inundated by political commercials belittling "our administration" calling for an immediate change, all of which end with the ridiculous statement that these infomercials do not endorse any political candidate or party.
This attorney has no business being employed by the Church while espousing and displaying blatant disregard for the most sacred tenet of the Catholic faith.
Based on his flawed counsel in this matter, I would question his legal advice on other issues that may be clouded by his personal biases that conflict with Catholic dogma.

Burke leaves and the whole place falls apart.
Shameless.
We got them in the bulletins and published in the archdiocesan newspaper.

I'm up here in Portage Cty, another liberal bastion though I don't thinks it's quite as bad as Madtown. Moved here from OK a few years ago--my car got keyed almost immediately after I moved here. (Had Bush/ Doyle bumper sticker on it.) Welcome to liberalism, I guess.

The attorney's JOB is to keep the Diocese out of court.
The Diocese's JOB is to keep its souls out of Hell.
The Diocese will have to decide which objective is more important...

A Catholic World News report on Tuesday revealed that James Birnbaum, who acts as an attorney for the Catholic diocese of LaCrosse, ... Not a very good actor is my humble opinion. Who is the administrative Bishop of La Crosse at this point? Could somebody show him where stage left is so he can escort Mr. Birnbaum out?

According to news reports, the attorney is a longtime donor to candidates who favor abortion. Excommunicate his butt.

Your quote:
"The attorney's JOB is to keep the Diocese out of court."
A quote from the article:
"Though Birnbaum cited a tax law, that others dispute would be broken if the church allowed the guides to be disseminated, CWN reports that his real motivation against the guides may be because of his support for pro-abortion candidates."
Based on this attorney's personal attitude toward the most important and basic Catholic doctrine (the sanctity of innocent human life) and proven support for those legislators who support his views, I am not as willing as you are to "assume" his counsel has as its primary intent to keep the Diocese out of court.
Since there seems to be no issue raised concerning pro-infanticide candidates actively campaigning from the Church pulpits of other tax-exempt religious denominations, I sincerely hope this attorney consulted with the Thomas More legal department before making his recommendation to the Bishop.
