Cardinal Burke: Francis Has Achieved Exactly the Opposite
Cardinal Raymond Burke told "Fede & Cultura" (2 April, video below) that there is "corruption in the Church". He mentions worshipping Pachamama in St Peter's during the Amazon Synod, or monstrous "art" shows in churches.
Faced with such phenomena, Burke feels "frustration" and a "sense of bewilderment". For him, the solution is "to remain even more with Christ in the Church - to fight".
The Cardinal said that the Holy Mass [as opposed to the Novus Ordo Eucharist] has been an extraordinary blessing for the Church for fifteen and more centuries, but now its celebration becomes more and more difficult "because of the new legislation in this matter".
In visiting different parts of the world, Cardinal Burke has seen that Holy Mass continues to attract many people. The numbers of the faithful are getting bigger and bigger: "They are congregations of people of all ages, but what is very impressive is the number of young families with many children, and also young people who are not yet married, those who are discerning their vocation."
If Francis' intention with Traditions custodes and other documents was to discourage and diminish Catholics, "it has had the exact opposite effect," Burke notes. This is not surprising, since Holy Mass has nourished and formed so many saints.
For Burke, the Mass cannot be erased from the life of the Church because it is an integral part of it.
