“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

Today I was greeted with the excellent new that my old friend Greg Burke, the director of the Holy See Press Office and papal spokesman, has resigned. I am delighted for him.
Loading ...
Mr. Burke is surely graced by God to have lasted this long.
Then again, if your daily work becomes a penance, graces would flow.
Well Francis and his hench men are at it again!
A truly trad Catholic tagged him as ” a good guy and orthodox Catholic” when he took the job. So,, no wonder he’s out. The signs and sighs of the times are speaking more clearly daily.
Secular media sources are approaching this story as an overnight whimsical decision by both Burke and Garcia Ovejero. I am sure this decision by both of them was a long time coming.
By the way, Mr. Burke used to sometimes have articles in the Columbia. Maybe now he will have more time for those.
I’ve followed Mr. Burke since he wrote for Columbia magazine in the early part of the last decade, and I’ve known him to be a charitable, truthful, humble man of faith. His motives are his own, and I can’t imagine it sat well with him and his conscience to be put in a position to prevaricate for the Holy See. His soul is more important than any job.
Regardless….this speaks volumes of the situation in the Holy See.
Lord, have mercy on us, and please intervene in your Church……
