ROFL: Burke to Chicago | National Catholic Reporter

ROFL: Burke to Chicago | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: I'm not that familiar with Fr. Z, but I have the feeling he was not being tongue in cheek.  Considering that Hillary, who is from Chicago originally (though an adopted New Yorker) may be the next president, nothing would be more of a gag gift than Ray Burke in Chicago.  Or they could send him to Rockville Center so he and Dolan can plot sedition.  Neither is likely - indeed, the whole thing about Curial service being a sacrifice is very funny - since it was more of a penance than an honor - one Burke probably has not yet served out.  Still, I do have a retort to Burke going to Chicago - ordain Fr. Michael Pfleger as his adjunt bishop.  Now that would be funny.
