Could someone explain what the Commission for Advocates is and how Msgr. Burke’s appointment as its president is so useful?
Archbishop Burke would make a marvelous prince of the Church! Tom
Makes ya wonder if His Holiness is grooming someone to succeed him…
So, what does that actually mean?
Anyone get this niggling suspicion that +Burke is being groomed for something..? ;)
I think we may be engaging in wishful thinking. No matter how fine a pope Archbishop Burke would be, I think an American would
be a hard sell. Tom
Trevor and Chris,
Great minds think alike! I too have a gut feeling that Abp.Burke is being made ready for even greater things… :-)
TJM, we know.. we know.. but let us have our little fantasies! =D
I disagree. I think right now, if G-d forbid his holiness were to move on to his reward, Burke would be an excellent choice, and one that makes sense. He is an american. Anyone in this country knows the church in american needs a shot in the arm
