I’m in need of some pumping up here . . . I am trying to remain as cordial as possible in the face of the criticism Archbishop Burke is receiving within earshot. Due to the fact that my temper is definitely getting to the best of the (God help me!), I am only responding to people who directly address me with their comments (note my struggle to state that as cordially as possible!). If sure some of you may be following the threads in “In the News,” so I won’t bore you with the details here. People have commented to me about the mess with St. Stanislaus Parish and the pastoral plan that will result in many parishes closing.

I usually like handle it like this:
- Point out that they are looking at the situation from a very different world view than the Catholic Church .
- Talk to them a little bit about the role of authority, asking questions to find out where they are coming from.
- Usually reminding them where a lax view of authority leads to (36,000 protestant churches, for example).
- Remind them that as hard as it can be to understand, these decisions are coming from a heart filled with love for our community.
Any words of encouragement would be most appreciated.
Live Jesus!
