Cardinal Burke: Failure of the Church’s Pastors

Talking on May 19 at the “Rome Life Forum” Cardinal Raymond Burke recalled the demand of Our Lady of Fatima (1917) to consecrate Russia to her Immaculate Heart. Burke stated that Pope John Paul II fulfilled this demand only in an implicit way.

In the same talk the Cardinal noticed a “failure of the Church’s pastors” to teach the Catholic faith. Burke criticised their “superficial, confused or even worldly approach”.

Pope Benedict XVI alluded to the same woeful condition in his apostolic exhortation Verbum Domini when he spoke of “generic and abstract homilies which obscure the directness of God’s word.”

When will we ever again hear the sometimes inconvenient truths of our faith preached faithfully and explicitly from the pulpit?
