Burke: Often Mentioned "Francis Magisterium" Is Not The Magisterium

A soon-to-be-published “Catechism of the Catholic Church with Theological Commentary,” edited by Curia Archbishop Rino Fisichella, will "not have the authority” of the 1994 Catechism, said Cardinal Raymond Burke.

He told TheWandererPress.com (January 8) that the current Catechism “will continue to be the authoritative text" while "whatever authority the new edition has, will depend on the correctness of its fidelity to doctrine.”

Burke linked the continuing doctrinal and moral confusion in the Church to the 4th century Arian heresy, pointing out that, at that time, St Athanasius defended Christ's divinity at the cost of great suffering. He was exiled and excommunicated by Pope Liberius for “the sake of peace.”

We need to fight for the truth today as Athanasius did then, adding that a so called “'Francis magisterium'” that is "'completely new'" is “not the magisterium.”

Since the infiltrations of modernist heresy have been proven in many writings after Vatican II. The Code that we must follow is the original Code of Canon Law of 1917 promulgated by Pope Benedict XV, which by the way confirmed the bull "Cum ex apostolatus" that annuls the elevation of a heretic to the papacy.

If you apply what Cardinal Burke says to John Paul II, Pius XII or Saint Pius X you will find that it does not work. To say that not everything done officially by a pope is part of his magisterium, is to say he has no magisterium. But a pope is not simply the head of an Anglican communion. So Burke needs to clarify his theology here, is he saying Bergoglio is not the pope. If so, he is correct. But if he is saying that a Pope does not have an intrinsic magisterium or a grace to be infallible in teaching, then he has denied the dogmatic definitions of Vatican I.

It is easy to know exactly what Burke will not say: Anything indicating any doubt that Bergoglio is pope.

The 1994 muslims and jews together with us worship the same God catechism will still have authority he says. The neo-conservative modernist against the neo-liberal modernists.

Latin Mass vs. Novus Ordo. Benedict XVI vs. Francis. Catechism "A" vs. Catechsim "B". Schism? What Schism???

Evolution and slightly mutated polyhedrons, elbow? That's even better than the nonsense coming from Marx and Bergoglio's spokespeople. They should put you on the payroll. "Evolution" can justify every "slightly mutated polyhedron" right through The Feast Of The Blessed Pachamama, co-celebrated by Father Ellen DeGeneres and her spouse Portia at Saint Richard Simmons' parish.
In all fairness, you can't validly claim there isn't grounds for a schism (even a privately held one) between the two catechisms since Pope Francis' revision isn't finished yet. God help us all when it is. .

Talking about Cardinal George Pell, Burke hopes that he will finally receive a just judgment, “There is no question in my mind that the accusation made against him by a single person who remains unidentified could not have plausibly happened in the way in which the Cardinal is accused.”
Burke thinks that the incident did not occur.

About the Dubia against Francis’ Amoris Laetitia, Burke expects that Francis will never answer.
Talking about the notion of “pastoral accompaniment,” Burke said that when people in an irregular matrimonial union are being accompanied, they must be helped to not to receive the sacraments until they are able to rectify their situation.
Burke is “disappointed” that 69 American bishops voted against calling abortion a “pre-eminent” issue recently: “That is an ominous sign”.

"Recently, I talked to two young priests who conveyed a conversation they had with third young priest who was studying moral theology. He said to them: “We have Pope Francis’ magisterium that is completely new; we now have to abandon all the old categories and develop a new theology to match this magisterium.” This is simply preposterous — this is not the magisterium! Priests and the lay faithful must understand this."
