Below is the list of the “Belleville 46” that constitute the majority of the “native born calling for resignation”… That is to say 46 = 60% of the priests with faculties in Belleville if and when you don’t count the 20ish priests who are on loan, and the 41 or so others who didn’t sign the letter of revolt.
So now that we have this list, can anyone do a little research for me and see if we can find a list of the signatories of the 2005 Letter of Protest against +Braxton’s assignment? I for one would very much like to cross check the list of those who were protesting his assignment with those calling for his ouster.
If they aren’t substantially the same, I will buy intrepid PC reader Rob of Arizona a Heineken. (He will have to come here to get it though – it is not legal to mail it.)

Damn these interstate liquor laws! It’s like we’re living in the Soviet Union!
Okay, I’ll take the bait. Number 8 has a special smiley-face. Who’s he?
Number 8 is no one, I assume. Writing an “8” followed by a “)” results in an automatic change from the blog site. It’s not meant to be a smiley face. Again, this is an assumption.

BINGO. IT hadn’t occured to me that wordpress adds emoticons like that… Now that I see it did I am a little annoyed…. What is this AIM?
At any rate, the “smiley” is what wordpress things “8” and ) should be when they are put together.
“Damn these interstate liquor laws! It’s like we’re living in the Soviet Union!”
Is outrage!
“Why, I’ll buy you a beer, man,” said the imagination to the figment.
SS, BTW, great post—odd use of the black power sign
Militant is, as militant does Father! Militant is, as militant does indeed…
So, is that Bp. Braxton’s fist? Is he fighting against “The Man?”
I was thinking it was the other way around… but 6 one way…

Here is a blog from So. IL that really explains a lot. The June 2005 entries are about them protesting +Braxton’s installation:

I tell you who did not sign the letter. The priest who married us, the former priest from the town where I went to high school, the priest who used to say Mass at my mom’s church, etc…
I’ve seen the names, I recognize some of them as less than orthodox. God forgive me for speaking ill of one of His priests!
