Sad events in St Louis

It has been brought to my attention that there is a parish in schism in St Louis Archdiocese, and that Archbishop Burke has had to take action. Those in schism include a priest from another Diocese who left his position there to be hired by St Stanilaus Kostka parish, in direct disobedience to his own Bishop, and also in defiance of Archbishop Burke.

Their actions brought about an automatic excommunication, which Archbishop Burke must make public in order to make sure that others are aware that participation in any Mass or Sacrament from this priest and this parish could also put themselves in the same situation.

For Archbishop's letter, see here. For the press release of the Bishop's notice to Archbishop, see here. The seriousness of the priest's actions canonically can be found here.

It is my prayer that Fr Bozek return to his own Diocese and reconcile, and that the parish members realize the seriousness of their actions and also reconcile.
