A prince of the Roman Catholic Church quietly visited Alma Monday, offering prayers and blessings for the small community of nuns who call central Michigan home.continue at The Morning Sun
Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke celebrated Mass, and led a ceremony called an “enthronement and consecration” of the Sacred Heart of Jesus for the Religious Sisters of Mercy of Alma.
Burke is a native of Richland Center, Wis., a town of about 5,000 people roughly halfway between Madison and LaCrosse, Wis. Today, he is one of only 214 members of the College of Cardinals, the ecclesiastic electors of the church who, when necessary, choose a new pope.
His biography describes him as an expert on the law of the Roman Catholic Church. His doctoral degree is in canon law.
Therefore, brethren, stand fast; and hold the traditions which you have learned, whether by word, or by our epistle. 2 Thes 2:15
