This morning the prefect of the Apostolic Signatura issued the following statement:

ROME, Italy - In response to the March 25, 2009 press conference of Mr. Randall Terry in Washington, D.C., the Most Reverend Raymond L. Burke, Archbishop Emeritus of Saint Louis and Prefect of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura, issued the following statement:

“Recently, Mr. Randall Terry and some of his associates visited me in Rome and asked to videotape an interview with me to share with pro-life workers for the purpose of their encouragement. The interview was conducted on March 2, 2009.

“Sadly, Mr. Terry has used the videotape for another purpose which I find most objectionable.

“First, Mr. Terry issued a media advisory which gave the impression that I would be physically present at the press conference during which he played the videotape, when, in fact, I was in Rome.

“Second, I was never informed that the videotape would become part of a press conference.

“Third, I gave the interview as a Bishop from the United States to encourage those engaged in the respect life apostolate, not as the Prefect of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura.

“Fourth, I was never informed that the videotape would be used as part of a campaign of severe criticism of certain fellow bishops regarding the application of Canon 915 of the Code of Canon Law.

“If I had known what the true purpose of the interview was, I would never have agreed to participate in it.

“I am deeply sorry for the confusion and hurt which the wrong use of the videotape has caused to anyone, particularly, to my brother bishops.”

(Most Rev.) Raymond L. Burke

[quote]Democrats may say that Burke overstepped his bounds by commenting not just on Sebelius and Communion, but her fitness as a nominee for HHS secretary. IRS guidelines, which are even now being tested by the Alliance Defense Fund, say Church officials may not comment positively or negatively on candidates for federal office.[/quote]

excuse me, but the Vatican is not a US entity subject to US tax laws; Archbishop Burke and the Vatican may speak however they wish, the US Catholic Church is legally registered under those non-profit laws and the US Catholic Church is the only thing subject to them in any way.

Ugh! And my dislike for our nation's president grows....

[TotusTuusMaria]

i don't get it... what moves has Obama made against Archbishop Burke.

The article, from what I read, was full of "mights" "wills" "won't be able tos"

future tense. nothing has happened and it is all up in the air. it is a rumor that is MIGHT happen.

If it did then boo on Obama and that is rather silly of him, but nothing - as far as we know - has been done or even will be done. it is just a rumor right now.
