Cardinal Burke: Apocalyptic Situation in Church, Caused by Clergy
We live in very troubling times that sometimes seem apocalyptic, Cardinal Burke said in a May 18 address to the graduating class of 2024 at Thomas Aquinas College in Massachusetts.
The rebellion against God, the revolution against His truth and love handed down to us in the Church, has reached unimaginable levels, the prelate explained.
The current rebellion is not only against faith, but also against reason: "We are witnessing in the world the denial of our very nature as God created us".
And: "What is more, the rebellion and revolution are sustained by some within the Church, even by some who are called and ordained to shepherd the flock [= Francis]".
The cardinal points to the German synod as an example, adding that the current sessions of the Roman ex-synod threaten to spread the same devastation to the universal Church.
For Cardinal Burke, the current situation of the Church is "unprecedented in the history of the Church". He encourages trust in Christ's Word and His promises about the Church: "If we deny Christ at work in the Church, nothing else in life makes sense."
