Arch Burke added to the Congregation for Divine Worship

More interesting news out of the Holy See today with July 6, 2010 appointments.  Pope Benedict XVI has added to Archbishop Raymond L. Burke's duties.   Last October, he was named a member of the Congregation for Bishops, and today, the Holy Father added him as a member to the Congregation for Divine Worship (CDW).  This on top of being the Prefect for the Apostolic Signatura! Anyone who thought he was "promoted out" of the US, is hopefully re-assessing that view.  His Excellency is in some very influential positions which will only grow with time.  From the VIS-News bloglink provided above:
- As members of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments: Cardinal Jean-Pierre Ricard, archbishop of Bordeaux, France; Cardinal Oswald Gracias, archbishop of Bombay, India; Archbishop Ioan Robu of Bucharest, Romania; Archbishop Michael Neary of Tuam, Ireland; Archbishop Angelo Amato S.D.B., prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints; Archbishop Raymond Leo Burke, prefect of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura; Bishop Julian Lopez Martin of Leon, Spain, and Bishop Aloysius Maryadi Sutrisnaatmaka M.S.F. of Palangkaraya, Indonesia.
Archbishop Burke was a regular visitor to Assumption Grotto where he would offer Mass in remembrance of Fr. John A. Hardon, SJ whose cause is being advanced, and for the Marian Catechists, which is an apostolate founded by Fr. Hardon.  Burke took the helm from Fr. Hardon.
From Te Deum laudamus!
