I love this man!
Archbishop Raymond Burke, formerly of St. Louis is so solid and never afraid to speak out about the truth. He has recently been appointed as the prefect of the Apostolic Signatura, the Vatican's highest court. He is a sweet, gentle man but is also stern when it comes to sin and scandal. He reminds me very much of what I imagine God the Father to be.
Now, he is taking a stance and speaking out about the scandal of Notre Dame giving an honorary degree to President Obama. He ALWAYS stands up for life. He even stepped down from the board of a children's hospital in St. Louis because they asked Sheryl Crow (openly anti-life) to be on the board as well, and he knew it would be scandalous to remain there.
I want Pope Benedict to live a long life because he is so ridiculously awesome, but during the next conclave, I will likely be praying for Archbishop Burke to be the first American pope! (And because he's a friend of the family, we'd have an in with the pope!)
