digg it! del.icio.us Apparently in need of someone new to pick on, Archbishop Raymond Burke is reportedly steamed over SLU basketball coach Rick Majerus's recent public comments in favor of stem cell research. Majerus was at a rally for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign last Saturday when a KMOV reporter spotted him in the crowd - not hard to do, if you've ever seen Rick Majerus. During their subsequent, taped discussion, Majerus let slip that he's in favor of the controversial research topic.

Since SLU remains a Jesuit university, his comments caught the attention of Catholic leaders in the area, including Burke. Asked by KMOV about the impact of the statement on Majerus's career, Burke replied that, "I think that's something that has to be dealt with at the university, but certainly these positions have to be clarified."

Majerus has had a history of supporting Democratic candidates for office, including publicly campaigning for John Kerry in 2004.
