Remember the Polish parish and Archbishop Burke? Here’s the latest

An independent Polish parish at odds with St. Louis’ archbishop over its control protectively agreed Sunday to release its assets to a Roman Catholic charitable group – not the archdiocese – if the parish or its corporation ever dissolves.

Though the St. Stanislaus Kosta church’s solvency may not appear in doubt, the overwhelming vote favoring a slate of administrative changes amounts to insurance protection in an archdiocesan feud with little hope for compromise, parishioner Roger Krasnicki said.

The church, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, has contacted religious orders of priests uncontrolled by the archdiocese to serve them if Archbishop Raymond Burke pulls their archdiocesan priest.
