***Rome has spoken***

Thank you for including the actual document in your post. The Congregation for the Clergy did not want to go against the bishop in such a "small" matter as $9 mil. material property.

The words: "This Congregation strongly urges you and the parishioners of St. Stanislaus Parish to work in cooperation with your local Ordinary to restore St. Stanislaus Parish to the status envisioned by its founder, that of a parish of the Roman Catholic Church with a pastor who exercises the pastoral care of the community entrusted to him under the authority of the diocesan Bishop" are directed as much to the parish council as they are to the bishop.

Schisms are so awful! Brrrr! Meanwhile, it became OK to vote "pro-choice".

Please provide the actual text of Abp. Burke's comments. Your link quotes the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and the article doesn't quote Abp. Burke word for word.
