(Sarcasm aside, no joke, I’m serious, not kidding… someone please splain it to me. This man knows full well that an apostate is just that: Someone who has apostatized, denied the faith. Such a person, by their own choice, is outside the Church. A person outside the Church cannot hold juridical office inside the Church (if he ever did). According to canon law, this “loss of office” is automatic. Cardinal Burke was the top canon lawyer in the Church before the usurper illegally and invalidly stripped him of that rank. That this man is floating the erroneous idea that an apostate can hold any position of legitimate authority in the Church is, at best, diabolical disorientation. At worst, outright deception. Eminence, what the hell are you doing? You’re worried about people leaving the Church because an impostor has been imposing heresy for the past 12 years? Newsflash, you are part of the problem, not the solution (or not yet). Why do you keep claiming he’s definitely Pope? You owe it to the flock to depose this usurper, and then open an investigation into Pope Benedict’s failed partial abdication. The entire Bergoglian antipapacy needs to be declared null since its faux inception. Just like dozens of other antipopes have been deposed, while they yet lived. In fact, you owe it to Bergoglio himself, so that he may repent, confess his sins with full contrition and purpose of amendment, die in the state of grace, and obtain the Beatific Vision. Good grief, man, for the care of souls, all souls, DO SOMETHING.) -nvp
Cardinal Burke urges Catholics to stay in the Church even if the ‘highest’ leaders commit ‘apostasy’
‘No matter what we are asked to suffer, we must remain with Him, even if those in the highest positions of authority in the Church should abandon Him, should commit the grievous crime of apostasy from the Catholic faith,’ Cardinal Burke declared.
LA CROSSE, Wisconsin (LifeSiteNews) — Cardinal Raymond Burke exhorted Catholics to hold onto the Catholic faith regardless of “apostasy” at the highest levels of the Church hierarchy.
In a December 14 homily during Mass at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Wisconsin, Cardinal Burke encouraged Catholics to keep their faith in difficult times, stressing the importance of the Blessed Virgin Mary in our redemption.
“No matter what we are asked to suffer, we must remain with Him, even if those in the highest positions of authority in the Church should abandon Him, should commit the grievous crime of apostasy from the Catholic faith,” Cardinal Burke said during the candlelit Rorate Mass said in the honor of the Blessed Virgin…
My thoughts 1000 percent. Burke, Schneider, Strickland etc. have my prayers but they have lost my respect.
Burke would have in his power to solve this immediately, since in this state of sede vacante, he is one of the leaders of the Catholic Church. Instead, he wanted lay people to pray a 9-month novena. I mean, what was he thinking: the lay people should do what exactly? How many people does he want to be scandalized before he just says the simple truth out loud? Burke should just tell the truth, and start preparing for a conclave.
I don’t see what’s so scary about telling people what Jorge is. Yes, you’ll be sacked. But with that sacking you might just save your soul.
Surely you realize legitimizing the false prophet puts your soul in a dangerous position?
I don’t see how someone who believes in an eternal hell will let the world scare him into helping the Devil, or at least being quiet as he launches the one world religion. Do people think that fraternity between religions is just an idle threat? That somehow meting with other religious leaders in the capstone of a pyramid is just for fun? Canonizing schismatics and heretics? Implying that all religions are willed by God and paths to God?
My concern is this: if Jorge isn’t sacked – if no bishop or cardinal publicly charges Bergoglio with heresy and/or calls for an investigation into his election – what does that mean for the credibility of the Church?
In his reply to Dr. John Lamont, Fr Brian Harrison recognizes this fact: “…the ecclesiology implied by affirming that the entire college of bishops could ever be, and has in fact been, seduced into following an antipope is surely heterodox. It implies the Protestant ecclesiology that the true Church is invisible, that it needs no recognizable earthly head, and that it consists of all those scattered individuals who hold orthodox Christian belief. This runs up against the dogma of the indefectibility of the Church and the dogma, defined by Vatican I, that Blessed Peter will have perpetual successors i.e., right up till the Second Coming.” Agree with him or not, this is a logical outcome which is exactly why Burke, Strickland et al MUST act and act immediately.
