Edward Peters on Coach Majerus and Archbishop Burke

Though this came a couple of days ago, I had not yet read it. Today, I am forwarding only the part about the Coach and Archbishop Burke, as a background to the next post. The bold part in his first paragraph was done by me, and I am not including the section on Canon Law Anniversary. (You can read that at his website/blog when you go there to read the rest of THIS one).

God bless!!


It’s been a very busy week in canon law. There are two Canon Law Blog posts to end this week, one on the unbelievable attempt by a Catholic college basketball coach to tell an archbishop to keep his opinions on Church teaching to himself, the second on the 25th anniversary of the Code of Canon Law that occurs today.

Kindest regards, folks. edp.


Does Coach Majerus really think he can out play Abp. Burke?

I'm not making this up.

Jesuit-run St. Louis University's basketball coach Rick Majerus (yes, a basketball coach) is telling St. Louis Archbishop Raymond Burke (yes, the canonist archbishop), to mind his own business regarding Majerus' outspoken support for (get ready for it) abortion and experimentation on embryonic humans! If it weren't that expressing support for such deeply offensive conduct is so deadly serious, I'd be laughing.
