Ave Maria!
Congratulations to Archbishop Raymond Burke for his appointment as a member of the Congregation of the Causes of Saints.Diane at Te Deum Laudamus and her commenters has compiled a list of the many responsibilities given to Bishop Burke since going to Rome. Here is the list:
October 7, 2008: Appointed President of the Commission for Advocates
October 19, 2009: Appointed a member of the Congregation for Bishops
July 6, 2010: Appointed a member of the Congregation for Divine Worship
July 26, 2010: Appointed a member of the Congregation for the Causes of the Saints
The story was also picked up by Patrick Madrid and Thomas Peters both of whom agree with Diane that this flies in the face of some dissenting Catholics who suggest that he was moved to Rome to silence his orthodox views. Not only is this not the case but he is a prime candidate for Cardinal.
