I wish this happened so often that it was no longer newsworthy. Catholics standing up for Catholic beliefs… novel!

Shame the Archbishop had to resign - they should have looked for a new entertainer. I know it is for kids but she isn’t for them in the beginning of their life.

God bless Archbishop Burke! I wish other American Bishops would speak out in support of his remarks - our Bishops need to support each other publicly on issues like this.

All bishops and priests should speak up in support of him. All Catholics should speak up for him - a bishop who is ctually standing up for the faith!

I was a little upset with Fr. Jonathan about some other issues so it is very pleasant to see him support his fellow priest.
made a very good point
****Event organizer Allen Allread told the Associated Press that the other board members did not honor Burke’s request “because they did not want to play politics with performers at the annual event”.
“This is not an event that’s about ideology; this is about helping kids,” he said.
Bob Costas, a prominent television sportscaster and host of the event, released this statement: "I have never applied a litmus test, Catholic or otherwise, concerning the politics or religious beliefs of any of the generous performers who have come to St. Louis to help this worthy cause, nor do I intend to.”
The implication here is that the Catholic board should have no moral criterion for who they will feature at their events.
Archbishop Burke is not policing Sheryl Crow’s personal views. He is saying that because she has chosen to be a very public advocate against Church teaching in his Archdiocese, her platform should not be a Catholic event, run by a Catholic foundation, for a Catholic hospital … all of which he oversees as pastor.
Am I missing something? Why is this so hard to understand?****

The end doesn’t justify the means.
I’ve been thinking about this for a couple days now, since I first saw it one the news.

So the board would have no problem if David Duke turned out to be pretty good with a guitar and could pack in a crowd?
Perhaps they are merely SELECTIVE about which moral and ideological issues are important enough to warrant censure. And, of course, killing babies is not as big a deal as hate speech, right?
