Burke: The Ex-Synod is an Echo-Chamber of the Oligarchs

Cardinal Burke told ResNovae.fr (October 5) what everyone knows, namely that "some" figures with "very high responsibilities in the ecclesiastical hierarchy" affirm in an ambiguous way what a fringe of society and media [of the oligarchs] want to hear.

He calls this "populism", which seeks to please a minority instead of proclaiming the faith.

Burke confirms that the results of the current Ex-Synod "are known in advance, despite all that has been said to the contrary" and that its Instrumentum laboris contradicts the teaching of the Church.

According to him, bishops and cardinals [who are not chosen from among the courageous] today need "much courage" to confront the errors coming from within the Church.

For Burke, the fact that the leaders of the ex-synod are promoting sexual deviance shows that moral theology has gone astray. He tells them that a moral act must be considered in its totality, not just in its subjective aspect, and that the Ten Commandments remain valid because they are inseparable from human nature.
