Archbishop Burke Imposes An Interdict

Archbishop Raymond Burke of the Diocese of Saint Louis has imposed and interdict on the six parish board members of St. Stanislaus Kostka. A statement issued by Burke said that, "[Burke's] extraordinary patience in dealing with the Board of St. Stanislaus Kostka has officially evaporated." The archbishop has not said when the interdict will be in place, but he is drafting it at the moment. The spokesman for the board issued a statement saying that, "The directors, unanimously and with clear consciences, refuse to recognize any validity to such an immoral, unjust and inequitable sanction," and that Burke's trying to maintain control is, "about raw power and greed, and not about the teachings of Jesus Christ." The cause for the disagreement is that the members of the board refuse to cooperate and conform the parish structure so that is aligned with canon law. Also, the parish is not currently governed by the Archdiocese, and would have to be in order for it to make the proposed change. The board is also going directly against a ruling, issued in November of last year, by the Holy See that ordered them to conform to the rules regarding the structure of the parish.
