I ran across this link to a fascinating interview with the head of the Vatican’s “Department of Justice” [I'm using a term more easily understandable]. I think you will find this interview very interesting.

if Lutherans had a department to investigate “heroic sanctification” toward establishing sainthood, it might be difficult to gather a cause for most Lutheran clergy because testimony could be taken from their spouses and children! gulp. Harvey Mozolak
Amen!
Hey, that’s why there’s celibacy!
Been to Mass in the Cathedral of St Joseph the Workman in LaCrosse, at about the time he was assistant rector there right after his ordination. Can’t remember if he was the, uh, celebrant, was only there to keep peace in the family on the way home from a vacation. With any luck I am excommunicated latae sententiae since 1973, but the problem with those excommunications is you don’t get papers to prove it.
Burke is quite favourable toward traditional Roman liturgy (Tridentine Rite). Had to bail with all the talk about Hardon, whose miserable Catholic Catechism (1975) was the forerunner of Ratzinger’s more miserable Catechism of the Catholic Church (1992) to which he was a consultant, Vatican II revisionism-light as distinct from the “spirit of Vatican II”.
Jesus Christ is fine as long as it’s all about Father This, Mother That, Bishop This, Pope That, this cause for sainthood, that devotion, this building, that Roman rule, etc ad nauseam.
