The Wanderer interviews Abp. Burker on the Latin Rite Mass

From Brian Mershon at Renewamerica.us:

Archbishop Raymond Burke, who previously consecrated his former Diocese of La Crosse, Wis., to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, is known as one of very few bishops in the United States who has sincerely been "wide and generous" (Ecclesia Dei Adflicta, by Pope John Paul II, June 1988) in allowing all of the Classical Roman rite sacraments in his diocese. He has begun to show his benevolence toward the Classical Roman liturgy and sacraments also in the Archdiocese of St. Louis, as will be shown later in this interview.

Bishop Fernando Rifan, the only traditionalist bishop in full communion with the Church, has cited Archbishop Burke and three other U.S. bishops as being "wide and generous" in allowing the Classical Roman rite liturgy and sacraments in their dioceses, according to the mind of the Holy See (Pope John Paul II, and now Pope Benedict XVI) as requested in Ecclesia Dei Adflicta.

With Archbishop Burke, The Wanderer has now interviewed three of these four bishops, who interestingly, have quite similar attitudes of openness to the Classical Roman rite. Specifically, they want to ensure the priest requesting the indult knows Latin sufficiently and is well trained in the rubrics of the sacred rite. Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz of the Diocese of Lincoln, Neb., and Bishop Alvaro Corrada of the Diocese of Tyler, Texas, were interviewed previously (January 26 and February 9, 2006).
