Archbishop Burke: The Judge of Bishops
I 'm so happy to hear the good news about one of my favorite pro-life bishops, Archbishop Burke, as reported by Rocco on Saturday:
Earlier today, B16 named the church's "chief justice" Archbishop Raymond Burke to the membership of the Congregation for Bishops, giving the 61 year-old prelate a seat at the dicastery's all-important Thursday Table, whose votes recommend prospective appointees to the Pope.
As a result, Burke's impact on the process and its outcomes could extend for two decades; normally renewed on a five-yearly basis, Curial memberships automatically cease at age 80 both for bishops and the college of cardinals, which the Wisconsin-born prefect of the Apostolic Signatura is likely to join at the next consistory, currently expected to take place sometime in mid-2010.

I like Archbishop Burke..., he is not afraid to be Catholic!
