Rigidity: Francis Is "Simply Wrong" - Burke

A synod's purpose is to promote the faith, not to invent another church and faith, Cardinal Raymond Burke told the German newspaper Die-Tagespost.de (22 August).

To German Catholics who don't want to fund the Synodal Way with their church tax and are considering leaving, Burke recommends staying in their parishes "as painful as it is" and "fighting for the truth of the faith."

Burke's logic: "Otherwise, if everyone leaves, the Church will fall into the hands of those who destroy the Catholic faith and its practice." Unfortunately, this has occurred in Germany already a long time ago.

Believers should confront their [tone-deaf] bishops with "clear words" [and then?]. Burke appeals to returning sacred tradition and contradicts the Francis mantra: "To call fidelity to Catholic teaching rigidity is simply wrong."

Bergoglio has responded to Cardinal Burke's dubia with acts of apostasy and he continues to refuse to see reality. Who is he trying to fool? When with his cowardly silence he has allowed the heresiarch Bergoglio to attack the Bride of Christ.

Bergoglio has responded to Cardinal Burke's dubia with acts of apostasy and he continues to refuse to see reality. Who is he trying to fool? When with his cowardly silence he has allowed the heresiarch Bergoglio to attack the Bride of Christ. He has allowed Bergoglio to openly defy Catholic doctrine, defy divine natural law, and violate the first commandment by actively participating in pagan rituals. Burke has refused to defend the rights of Christ. Burke has acted as an UNFAITHFUL who has been FAITHFUL TO BERGOGLIO BUT UNFAITHFUL TO CHRIST. He is acting like a bad husband who sees that some criminals are raping her wife and instead of defending her and even giving his life for her he has preferred to look the other way and instead of denouncing them he has preferred to remain silent.

I would like to see Cardinal Burke fighting like Archbishop Vigano has been fighting.
We need the remaining faithful Hierarchy fighting like they never have before......they should be fighting for the eternal salvation of their flock.,,...and be prepared to go all the way to martyrdom if the opportunity comes their way.
This also applies to the rest of us of course.....to all true Catholics.

Cardinal Burke please commence an 'Imperfect Council' to investigate the validity/invalidity of the supposed 'election' of the decades entrenched, rampant heretic, idol (pachamama) worshipper Jorge Bergoglio. Surely, with all he has said & done from the Chair of Peter over the last 9 years you can see a morally compelling need and urgency to do this. Surely!!! Please Cardinal Burke....do this!!! …More

Souls are being lost right now, as Catholics apply his heretical teachings to their lives.

Until Cardinal Burke has the courage to convene an Imperfect Council to verify the usurpation of the heresiarch Bergoglio, what we have to do is contradict his cowardly bad advice.

Until Cardinal Burke has the courage to convene an Imperfect Council to verify the usurpation of the heresiarch Bergoglio, what we have to do is contradict his cowardly bad advice. No faithful Catholic can join a schismatic heretical apostate church because he is automatically excommunicated. When the Arian heretics took over the temples, Monsignor Gracida tells us, the faithful Catholics shouted "heretics, heretics" from the pulpit. In fact, that is why Saint Athanasius consoles the Catholic faithful saying: They have the temples, you have the faith. Listening to Bishop Isidro Puente, who by the way also refuses to confront the heresiarch Bergoglio, said that it is necessary to leave a church when someone hears a heresy and should not contribute financially to these heretical priests. We faithful Catholics cannot become accomplices of apostate priests. In addition, these lay people would be giving a false testimony with their presence, they are making it clear to others that they support them and are united with the apostates and also because if they do not separate they will continue to financially feed the Impostor Cuckoo birds; that will finally tear apart the legitimate children of the Church. The book of Revelation shows us that in the Great Apostasy the Church has to go to the desert where she will be fed by God. The few faithful will have to celebrate Holy Mass with the few faithful priests in their homes.

These German apostates have gotten away with it because they have blackmailed the Catholic faithful. Telling them that in order to separate from them they have to sign a document to intimidate them and call them apostates and schismatics. And they have fallen into the trap because no heretical, apostate and schismatic invalid authority has the authority to separate them from the True Catholic Church …More

In fact, Saint Athanasius was invalidly excommunicated several times. Therefore, they need not fear blackmail from apostates. Those who are outside the Church are they, not you, dear faithful German brothers.

Can Koza Nutria name one place in Poland where NOM is celebrated with dignity, that is without on demand Communion given in any hand reaching out what leads to a loss of Holy Species, Eucharistic particles, all over the place resulting in profanation of the Blessed Sacrament and excommunication?
Koza Nutria
That is easy. My parish in Poland. All still taking communion kneeling and on the tongue. On private message can tell you. Place called Nienaszow.
I have a question what you done to educate people about Holy sacrament? Do you know that some people didn't have a chance to learn about it? Didn't have a chance to know any different?

For this people Burke wants us to fight. Lead by example. This is what we do in my parish in England. Our priest invited kneelers and communion on the tongue when before noone even confessed. For this people Latin mass is too much ,they need to learn step by step and this is what my parish priest does!

Koza Nutria since plandemic in accordance with guidelines every priest is obliged to minister Holy Communion at NOM in 2 forms, traditional and upon request give in any hand to self-communicate. However, that is against God's will and Church law. Priests who refuse to profane HC in the hand are disciplined and /or suspended. Unfortunately, Episcopal bodies, hierarchy and parishes have ignored Cardinal Sarah's request to make NOM more visibly worthy, i.e. show reverence towards Real Presence by priests alike vetus ordo during consecration and Lord's Sacrifice with traditional Communion as done in the past... Finally, NOM in its substance is revolutionary act from TLM to protestant worship (see analysis and protestant liturgy on youtube). Thereby is freely changing to allow for different heretic's performances and acts what Church now witnesses in universal profanation of Holy Communion...

To sum it up: Let us fight for the revolution! Because it is good and only the deflections are bad.
Non possumus.
PS NOM together with the notorious "Hand Communion" - introduced at the same time (spring 1969) - is a mighty tool to celebrate the liturgy without due dignity and due faith. To water the Holy Sacrifice down to the protestant-like meal/gathering (as Bugnini et consortes wrote quite …More

The idea that Catholics should remain where they're regularly indoctrinated with bile is absurd and spiritual suicide.

I'm so sick of the remain in place orders. It seems that he's more concerned about keeping the buildings than anything.

Completely agree with you @pgmgn . Children cannot endure in those environments of laxity and false doctrines.
I personaly think that while Cardinal Burke has good intentions, he is still a Vat II cardinal and Vat II is a new gnostic religion. That's why he is so inefective against the Novus ordo. Its not just about the latin mass, it is about the Faith.
Good intentions are not enough.More

Hmm when Burke said anything against doctrine? Why do you think that NO priests only teaches false doctrine?
I was brought up on NO. I was receiving holy communion on the tongue all my life. I was told from earliest years that I need to be quiet and respectful and I need to go to confession every month. All of it on NO.

@Koza Nutria Hmmm. Where did I state that Burke has spoken against doctrine? The point here is Burke's failure to engage those who DO speak against doctrine. He doesn't. And if he does, he does so very weakly while shaming the flock to remain in dangerous places.

It's also dangerous of you to put words into my mouth. Where did I say that NO priests are all wrong? I didn't say that. It's good that you 'see' some are damaged by seminaries and that's another issue. Bad seminaries produced bad fruit.

Telling the sheep that they should remain in place and fight without any tangible weapons while a Prince of the Church sits idly talking, talking, and talking is no sign of true leadership. His performance is more disheartening than that of leftist/progressive clergy. Why? Because he's supposed to be one of the good guys. That's scary.

@Sancte Teotónio Adults have a hard time enduring the schlock, too. That and the ongoing press for $$$$ to support ^%$#@. Having to constantly explain why the 'good' guys aren't really good at all is a recipe for psychosis. Add in spiritual blackmail and you've got the perfect recipe for I'm-Outta-Here.
