    The excommunicated's strange attitude toward sin

    As a result, Bozek and the six-member lay board were excommunicated last week by Archbishop Raymond Burke for committing an act of schism.

    Burke said it would be a mortal sin for anyone to participate in a Mass celebrated by a priest who was excommunicated.

    Despite the warning, Catholics and non-Catholics from as far as Oregon and Washington, D.C., filled the church. An overflow crowd viewed the Mass by closed circuit TV in an adjoining parish center.

    Sin is quite a draw, as usual.

    “I’m not worried about mortal sin,” said worshipper Matt Morrison, 50. “I’ll take a stand for what I believe is right.”

    “It was magic,” said JoAnne La Sala of St. Louis, a self-described lapsed Catholic. “You could feel the spirit of the people.”

    Thank you lapsed JoAnne for your magic feeling spirit.
