"...But perhaps it was the case of Sister of Charity Louise Lears that gave him the boost he needed. Louise Lears, who has a Ph.D. in medical ethics, served on the pastoral team of Saint Cronan Parish and was an adjunct professor at St. Louis University. Her support for, and presence at, the ordination of two members of the Roman Catholic Women Priests group in 2007 that got Burke’s Irish up. The ceremony was held not in the local cathedral but in a synagogue whose rabbi was a strong supporter of her sisters’ ministry."
"Archbishop Burke, with scant attention to dialogue and little regard for her well-being, placed Louise Lears under interdict, prohibiting her from working in diocesan venues or receiving the Catholic sacraments. In fact, he issued the decree the day before he left St. Louis for greener pastures in Rome. He now heads the court that would be one of the few ecclesial venues for appealing Sister Lears’ case. So much for due process."

Nothing like more insult to injury! Thank you Sister for supporting my Mother in 2007 in spite of threats from the bish.
It is still my hope that people will wake up (soon!) and see what it the real truth when it comes to people like him.
You are definately appreciated and supported here!
Peace...
