More from Cardinal Burke | National Catholic Reporter

More from Cardinal Burke | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: Burke is whistling past the grave yard. While he is correct that one one baptized gay marriage this week or really did anything about how divorce was handled - and that some divorced and remarried Catholics may go ahead and recieve Communion now, rather than the end of the process is declared - gays probably are not confused (and any priest blessing such a union would do so anyway).  Burke is afraid that these will be the results at the end of the process and that this will say something about the infallibility of the Magisterium (as in, it is not).  He is probably also thinking that those who are acting now probably have been doing their own reasoning for themselves anyway - and that scares him deeply - not because these people may be risking their souls but because maybe, just maybe, they are not.  And if not, where does that leave him and the rest of the hierarchy?
