Archbishop Raymond Burke
Posted on 10/09/2008 1:54:27 PM PDT by NYer
.- On Tuesday, the former Archbishop of St. Louis, Raymond Burke, received an appointment from Pope Benedict XVI making him the head of the Vatican’s bar association.
In addition to his duties as the prefect of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura, Archbishop Burke will now serve as the president of the Commission for Advocates. The president of the commission is in charge of admitting canon lawyers to the Vatican’s "bar association."
Those who are admitted to represent the Holy See in the Apostolic Signatura must be qualified by "a suitable preparation attested by appropriate academic degrees, and at the same time be recommended by their example of a Christian life, honorable character, and expertise," according to the Apostolic Constitution "Pastor Bonus."
The large majority of Burke’s time will still be dedicated to running the Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura. The Church’s Supreme Court, as the Signatura is sometimes called, oversees the administration of justice within the Church, examining administrative matters referred to it by the Congregations of the Roman Curia, as well as questions committed to it by the Holy Father.
Caught sight of him this morning at the Memorial Mass for Pius XII. He looks great!
When is going to come clean about the bishops’ USCCB Catholic Campaing for Human Develpment on how they fund ACORN and other obama-like community agencies that support planned parenthood by direct donations from the Community Groups like ACORN and by these community groups partnering with Planned Parenthood.

Archbishop Burke has never been thought of as a friend of left wing “Catholic” groups.
all dioceses, including HIS, are involved with the campaign, he is a part of it. He has a mouth and can repudiate the USCCB for participating in this planned parenthood funding scheme and has NOT done so. Guilty as Charged.

I think you’re going to have to prove that his diocese is an active and knowing partner in the campaign you’re talking about. You’re also going to have to remember he has no diocese. He is no longer serving as a diocesan bishop.
“He has a mouth and can repudiate the USCCB for participating in this planned parenthood funding scheme and has NOT done so. Guilty as Charged.”
What charge?
Very true. Burke was picky about what he supported. I don't think he did support it.
You’re also going to have to remember he has no diocese. He is no longer serving as a diocesan bishop.
Ummm, not exactly true. Burke is Archbishop Emeritus of St. Louis. He is one of the only men to have his current job and actually be connected to a diocese. He cried when he told us. So, he technically does have an archdiocese.

“Ummm, not exactly true. Burke is Archbishop Emeritus of St. Louis.”
Archbishop emeritus means he has no diocese. He gets to keep the title of his former diocese precisely because he has no diocese now. It used to be that bishops in that situation were routinely given titular sees.
“Bishops who work in the Vatican as administrators or diplomats and who therefore don’t head their own dioceses, or sees, have an extinct diocese attached to their title. But Bertone told Burke he would not receive an extinct see. Rather, he would become the emeritus archbishop of St. Louis — “to my great joy,” Burke said.” http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/news/stories.nsf/religion/story/2C864C10CE1D144B862574A9000CDB85?OpenDocument
Thus, Burke has no diocese. He serves no diocese as bishop.

“read post #3, he has yet to repudiate the cchd.”
I already read #3. How do you know what he has done and hasn’t done? Also, how do you know that the CCHD in his old diocese was a problem?
“He’s just as bad as the other 195 bishops who participate in this program.”
According to you? And your opinion is worth what exactly? Is there a single good bishop in the country according to your opinion? Even one?
“are you for real? He’s been a diocesan bishop for many years, since 1994!”
But he isn’t one now. Time for you to move on is it not?
“Stop trying to play me. It’s only recently that the pope reassigned him on June 27.”
And?
“I was waiting for you to say that”
Then why did you fail to provide any evidence? Posting addresses from dioceses other than his own doesn’t even make sense. Automatically that means your first three bits of evidence are as worthless as they seem. The address from St. Louis only proves that CCHD’s website lists that address. It proves nothing about either the bishop’s knowledge or even the activities of CCHD.
Also, I actually KNOW Arthur Hippler. I know him rather well in fact. His story is a fascinating one - converted from communism when he was 17 years old. Converted his family as well. He was indeed the head of the office of justice and peace at LaCrosse. He is ABSOLUTELY 100% orthodox and very traditionally minded often attending the old Latin Mass. He left that office about two years ago, by the way. And that tells me that the CCHD website isn’t even up to date.
Now, if you really knew what and who you were talking about, and you don’t, you would know that Arthur Hippler wrote a book review that was critical of the CCHD: http://www.acton.org/publications/mandm/mandm_review_46.php?view=print
I couuln’t care less about the book. You were provided with sources that the archdioces of st. louis participated in the campaign with contact info. and the info. on the CCHD link; as i said, i suggest you stop wasting my time and contact them. while you’re at it check out the CCHD, ACORN and Planned Parenthood connection.

Right, you don’t care about evidence that goes againt your template.
“You were provided with sources that the archdioces of st. louis participated in the campaign with contact info. and the info. on the CCHD link;”
No. You provided addresses of those who run Catholic Charities and related offices. Every diocese in the country has such an officer. Every single one. And some of those people have been out of their office for two or more years.
“as i said, i suggest you stop wasting my time and contact them.”
No, I suggest you stop wasting my time by simply admitting that you don’t believe there’s a single worthwhile Catholic bishop in America. That’s the case is it not? If the Usccb and CCHD are your litmus tests then every Catholic bishop in America fails, right? Is that why you refused to address that point about bishops when I last made it?
” while you’re at it check out the CCHD, ACORN and Planned Parenthood connection.”
While you’re at it, tell me the name of a good Catholic bishop in America according to your understanding. Don’t be shy. Give us a name and diocese. Can you?
Correction: all dioceses, including his former one,
That is assuming your charge is correct.
Correction: all dioceses, including his former one, >>
actually, your answer should be his former ones, as he was also bishop of lacross which also participates in the cchd.
While you’re at it, tell me the name of a good Catholic bishop in America according to your understanding. Don’t be shy. Give us a name and diocese. Can you? >>>
I don’t want to tell you. Do you actually think for one minute I care what you think? And who exactly are “us”? are you two people? or do you represent some sort of fringe group?
If the Usccb and CCHD are your litmus tests then every Catholic bishop in America fails, right? >>>
give me some litmus paper and I’ll tell you my answer.
” while you’re at it check out the CCHD, ACORN and Planned Parenthood connection.”>>>
so, did you check? You keep changing the subject. Do some research for a change and stop your rhetoric.
Give us a name and diocese. Can you? >>
Yes, I certainly can. And you’ll have to do more research on other threads to find out.

You can’t give us one name? See what I mean? You hold the bishops to a standard that apparently no living bishop can actually live up to. What does that say about your standard when we know that some of those bishops (including Burke) are good and holy men?
“give me some litmus paper and I’ll tell you my answer.”
No, you already failed the test by simply proving my point. Thanks.
who is your bishop?
If this is true, then we all need to write to USCCB and ask them to stop funding voter fraud defendant, ACORN.
Now another question, have other denominations taken part in the funding of ACORN?
If this is true, then we all need to write to USCCB and ask them to stop funding voter fraud defendant, ACORN. >>>
If they are all in denial and as thick headed as vladimir998, then there won’t be many contacting the usccb.
the usccb has been funding acorn for 30 years where they turn around and work against pro-life republicans through intimidation, voter fraud and for partnering and donating to Planned Parenthood while catholics defend the very bishops who support this campaign.
And what’s more sickening is that the bishops of the Catholic Church, helped to pay obama’s salary! with our money!
