Archbishop Burke on Cardinal Glennon Benefit w Sheryl Crow

Archbishop Burke resigns as Chariman of the board of Cardinal Glennon Children's Foundation, fundraising organization for the children's medical center, since the board chose to ignore Catholic principles and is allowing Sheryl Crow to particpate in a weekend fundraiser.

An excerpt from the Archdiocese website:
In a news conference this afternoon, Archbishop Raymond Burke announced that the April 28, 2007, Benefit for SSM Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center requires him to address the issue of moral scandal out of respect for the good of the souls of others. The Benefit is organized by the Cardinal Glennon Children's Foundation. The management and the executives of the Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center are not responsible for planning the event. "As the shepherd of this Archdiocese, I am required to address an issue that could call into question in the minds of the faithful the commitment of the medical center and the Archdiocese to the cause of life."

God bless Archbishop Raymond Burke.

And remember this, the Catholic Church must rise again to save us all from our own evil and stupidity!

@cosmith87 God knows us both & Loves us both.You are entitled to say what-ever you want.I also hope & pray with all my heart that you-ditch your Constantinian-notions of Christ....&..get out of that Science-Fiction notion of Christianity,where a bunch of celibates are telling every-one else how to lead their sex-lives.Property,Power,Money & Control are the M.O. of that Corporation that calls itself "The Christian-Church".Sell all you have & give to the poor..&..maybe we'll meet in Heaven:LOVE.

@tlaniganschmidt

you are not an outcast in the church, what you a doing is wrong and self destructive. I pray with all my heart that you will put that detrimental lifestyle to rest and come home!

As a Catholic,every night when i say my prayers i Thank God,that the English Defeated the Spanish Armada,because i know what its like to have the Church that i am Sacramentaly Baptized into treat me like a out-caste because I am GAY.The same church that survived 300 years ,through the grace of the Holy Spirit has so little faith in God that it is ALWAYS Looking for a new Constantine.

This is completely unfair! No one told me the Catholic Church was reinstating old fashioned relational aggression and bulling techniques to condemn via social isolation and censorship artists who are not even Catholic any more or I'd have made a concious effort to get my Comedy Club definatively excommunicated to increase ticket sales.

Its good to see that the Catholic Church is unchaging as always and that it does not just blindly follow the whims and capirces of its most vociferous patrons.

i think you ought to rethink your statement.

he is defending the faith which has been tradition and dates back to the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Church history clearly shows that you are wrong. What makes you think you are right?

[rrrrsssssssa2]

Sheryl Crow's music is boring anyway.

Archbishop Burke is a very holy and stand-up man.

John Paul II on Good Friday please pray for the unborn who have so few to defend them.  This is what is happening at Notre Dame. Please bless and protect Archbishop Burke

The catholic Church will die if they keep appointing conservative idiots like Burke. He's such a fake.

As a Catholic, I respect his office, but not him.
