On the subject of Archbishop Raymond Burke, he is gone from STL now, thankfully. That guy was a tool...he's the reason my uber-Catholic wife now takes the kids to a Baptist Church, if she goes to church at all.

I was raised RC, everyone I knew on the west side of Cincinnati was RC except for one Greek Orthodox family...that's just the way it was. You were defined by what parish you were in.

Today, I'd say that half of the RC kids I grew up with have left the church, and aren't looking back! No molesting priests that I ever saw, and I went to a Jesuit high school and college too, so I was exposed to priests for 16 years, with no ill effect.

This papal message is a wild one...can't wait to hear what he says next.
