Cowardinal Burke Manages To Put Himself On The Spotlight Again, Still Refuses To Do His Job

I really have to agree with you here! He’s all talk, no action. I don’t expect anything different this time.

It is indeed bizarre.
Clearly he is getting all sorts of bothered by Bergoglio, but what he calls “intolerable” he by definition is tolerating, and on the issue of correcting the pope, he actually seems to be telling lay people it’s THEIR job to do it!
Reminds me of seeing a mess of broken spaghetti sauce jars on isle 9 and walking by a janitor who hands me the mop and tells me to get to it.
All of this is surreal; sardonically comical, in that Burke has made such a big deal about how he steadfastly is NOT going to lead a rebellion against the pope yet by calling for the faithful to rise up he is doing just that.
I could be wrong, but I don’t think this seeding of anarchy offers the Church a viable solution.

I started to believe people who said “You think you know him, but he will never issue any correction.” They said he was most certainly not a traditionalist, but a devoted VII guy.
It does take a certain audacity to encourage the thing you won’t yourself do. I guess he’s counting on Catholics not paying attention.
We get it, none of the Cardinals or bishops care enough to defend Christ, Catholicism, natural law, or the poor beleaguered sheep. Not a one.

    Kathleen, Cardinal Burke was quite the “man” when he went after a parish’s funds as the Archbishop of St. Louis. Burke is the typical bully/coward: He will intimidate those who are below him but will cower in the face of those above him.

    I must agree with this.
    Strong with the weak, weak with the strong.
    But hey, he loves the Cappa Magna.

Quite obsessed with Burke, which is not perfect but….
What about Bishop Fellay and the 99,9 percent of the other 5000 cowardshops?

What is your problem with the SSPX? Their criticism of Francis is polite but extremely hard. As to the other bishops, I think one who plays hero and then does nothing much worse than them.

 

 

 

Own comment: 

I don't know what kind of circus Cardinal Burke is running, but it ceased to be amusing a long time ago.

The honourable thing is to either stand up against Bergoglio or keep quiet. Absurd is the most polite way of describing what he is doing: Telling others to resist when he himself is in the best position to do so.
