<\/span>Msgr. Cormac Burke <\/span><\/a>is an Irish priest of the prelature Opus Dei, a member of the Irish bar, professor of modern languages, and a prolific theological author. More than all of these, though, Msgr. Burke is one of the world’s most influential English-speaking canon lawyers, serving 13 years on the Roman Rota <\/span><\/a>as an "auditor" (essentially, a judge), retiring in 1999, only to continue his priestly service by teaching in Kenya.<\/p>\n

Msgr. Burke is that unusual kind of man who has maintained extensive scholarly output while performing Church work at the highest levels; in him, we have the chance to see how a canonical judge (one with a common law formation at that) adjudicates actual cases, and how the same man reflects on those issues as an academic. Thus, his decision to launch a personal website<\/span><\/a>, featuring many of his books<\/span><\/a>, articles<\/span><\/a>, and judicial sentences<\/span><\/a>, is very exciting news. His materials (often entire works) are now available in several languages.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n
