Wow, do a lot of the comments in this thread fail this test. Simply mentioning Cardinal Burke works on some people like a Pavlovian bell:

"The danger is that Burke could still use this to push his agenda somehow. For example he could blame the abuse in this case on the feminization of the church and the the lavender mafia. His trad buddies would eat that up."

"Is this Burke's projection? - "priests who were feminized..." as he prances about as a haute couture drag queen! And he is clear about his sexual identity?"

"Burke is neither gentle nor holy. He is, among other things, a blatant homophobe."

"An important question for ecclesiastical fashionistas is; 'what will ArchBurke were in the tropics of Guam? A cappa magna woven from palm leaves?"
