Catholic Archdiocese Imposes Penalty On Maverick Church

The head of the St. Louis Catholic Archdiocese has put the penalty of interdict on the board members of a historic Catholic Church who do not want to turn over $9-Million worth of Church assets to him. Interdict is similar to excommunication in the Catholic Church. It means the six board members cnanot have the sacraments of the Catholic Church. Archbishop Raymond Burke’s order can be appealed to the Vatican. And any board member who repents can receive the sacraments again. St. Stanislaus Kostka is a Polish church that has had a lay board for more than a century.
