Today it was announced that Archbishop Raymond Burke of St. Louis, Missouri was named by the Holy Father as prefect of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura, which is the major canonical court for the universal church.
With this resignation, the sede vacante dioceses in the United States, counting St. Louis, now number nine, the others being Charleston, South Carolina; Knoxville, Tennessee; Green Bay, Wisconsin; St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands; Juneau, Alaska; New Ulm, Minnesota; Biloxi, Mississippi; Gallup, New Mexico.
Blogito ergo sum! Actually, as N.T. Wright averred, "'Amor, ergo sum:' I am loved, therefore I am." Among other things, I am a Roman Catholic deacon. This is a public cyberspace in which I seek to foster Christian discipleship in the late modern milieu in the diakonia of koinonia and in the recognition that "the Eucharist is the only place of resistance to annihilation of the human subject."
