Pope Jackass Strikes Again

A pope who hates tradition, good grief.
People should not go to it. Imagine if nobody showed up. Delightful.
I read he did it because the numbers of attendees in Rome were low. His ego can’t take it. It’s pathetic there are so many Catholics carrying on. The pope is dissembling our faith, but, whatevs, let’s go to the procession!

Exactly. Pollyannism at its worse.

Ten years ago, Cardinal Burke was presented with an opportunity to instruct a Pope: “It’s time to stop appointing corrupt scoundrels as bishops and cardinals to ‘balance’ every faithful new bishop or cardinal.”
In other words, when Benedict proposed to create Burke and Wuerl cardinal side-by-side, Burke should have refused. Wuerl was already on record in favor of sacrilegious Communions by pro-aborts–i.e., the nullification of Canon 915. Every specious argument Wuerl devised for this mortal sin turned up later in Amoris Laetitia.
Once Bergoglio was elected, Wuerl moved immediately to destroy Burke, as far as he was able. Thus, Burke has been deprived of almost all of the honor and position he refused to risk ten years ago. Eventually, Wuerl will make sure that Burke loses even what he is now clinging to.

 

 

 

 

Own comment: 

So Bergoglio moves the Corpus Christi procession out of Rome and into 'the peripheries' because of novelty or what not...No news there.

I couldn't, however, disagree more strongly with Vincent Fitzpatrick than I do. He writes:

Ten years ago, Cardinal Burke was presented with an opportunity to instruct a Pope: “It’s time to stop appointing corrupt scoundrels as bishops and cardinals to ‘balance’ every faithful new bishop or cardinal.”

A pope enjoys universal jurisdiction and appoints cardinals according to his wish, however badly he may choose, and the Novus Ordo popes have chosen as badly as at any time in history, even before Bergoglio, who has of course surpassed them all in atrocious appointments.

It is not incumbent upon a cardinal-appointee to place ultimatums to the pope with regards to the conditions under which he will accept such an office, certainly not if those conditions involve other persons. Once a cardinal, however, the appointee has the obligation to advise a pope on who he should elect and as vociferously as possible oppose bad appointments and judgements.

In this task and others of a similar nature, Cardinal Burke and others who care for the Church and seem to believe in Her mission have failed in their duty. In accepting their appointment as cardinals, however, they  followed through on their duty to assist the pope in running the Church.
