My guess is Cardinal Burke is making Pope Francis very happy by simply displaying himself as an emasculated symbol of protest. Pope Francis is winning big and Cardinal Burke is making it possible as a manifestation of defeat.

...

 

Disappointment after disappointment. How much does our dear Lord think we can bear?

Well I would let Him be the judge of that…
It could be decades, so you better be ready….

...

 

Not to toot my horn, but I’ve been saying this for months now, of course to my wife. Seriously, who else is there room on the fence for? Bp. Athanasius Schneider? Perhaps even Bp. Fellay, unless he gets off the stick and takes the bull by the horns.

...

 

I have done my part. I’ve asked Card. Burke when they (the Cardinals, four at that time) would do a formal, public correction of the Pope on AL and he answered, “Don’t worry about it, we’re working on it.”

This was in Oakland, on March 19. It’s now August 17. I guess they’re still “working on it.”

Hard workers or great cowards.
You choose.

 

 

 

 

 

Own comment: 

I have been reluctant to criticise Cardinal Burke but I honestly agree with some of the commentors here that it is time for him to either put up or shut up.

Right now he is receiving the applauds from faithful Catholics for defending the faith, something he is manifestly not doing. One might be forgiven for thinking that the man is an example of false opposition, especially in light of the fact that Bishop Fellay has stated that they were preparing a statement of correction to Bergoglio, but which they postponed when the 4 dubia came out.

It is not the SSPX's battle to fight but rather those who want to lead must be those within the formal structure of NOChurch, and on this point all bishops to date have been a disappointment.
