Leo XIV Must Get the Bishops' Appointments Right – Cardinal Burke

Leo XIV’s consistory in January did not involve a general debate, Cardinal Raymond Burke told Edward Pentin for his Substack.com-account on 16 January.
The consistory adopted a format closer to Francis’s synods, with discussion confined almost entirely to small groups:"All the discussion took place in the small group, and then in the general session there was simply a report from the secretaries."
Divide and Conquer
Burke added that the way the consistory was structured did not allow for so-called free interventions.
The two plenary sessions permitted only brief interventions: "Each intervention was limited to three minutes, so just 15 cardinals could speak in one session."

What did Cardinal Burke actually do to hinder/prevent anti-pope Bergoglio from destroying the Church with his heretical teachings?? Archbishop Vigano is the only one who opposed Bergoglio head on. He is the hero. The destruction continues....and with Cardinal Burke....it is more of the same!!!

He hasn't yet... And it was it JOB to advise Francis on this vital matter before, so don't hold your breath. The waiting is OVER! Personnel is policy.

The pope should only confirm bishops, not appoint them. The local canons of the diocese (now virtually non-existent) elected their bishop, like Cardinals elect the Pope. It is a more pyramidal shape of the Church which conforms to her actual shape, with God at the peak.

Uh, all that was done away with when the Papacy insisted on universal & immediate jurisdiction over the ENTIRE Church at Vatican I. You'd have to reverse that (which the modernists have longer for) Better to scrap another Council - Vatican II.
