Cardinal Burke Closes the Stable Door After the Cattle Has Run Away

Also in these coronavirus times which are "stranger" than they ought to be, bishops have no power to “dispense” the faithful from Sunday obligation, Cardinal Burke said.

Talking to "Catholic Action" (YouTube.com, May 24), he expresses his fears that those Catholics who “are not so well catechised” - meaning: virtually all - may interpret the bishops' Coronavirus "dispensation" from Sunday Mass as a sign that Sunday Mass is just another "negotiable practice" in the Church.

He criticises by name La Plata Archbishop Víctor Manuel Fernández who suggested that Sunday obligation could be "abolished" - as if this had not de facto happened decades ago.

Also Burke's admonition is an attempt to close the stable door after the cattle has escaped. It's now over 50 years that Sunday obligation is ignored while the clergy leaves the Catholics in the dark about this.

Burke, I'm sorry to say, is a coward. I wonder what secrets the "pope" has on him.

Cardinal Burke is a Modernist fraud! He's actually the worse kind. He has led many faithful conservative Catholics to continue following the false teachings of Vatican II by pretending he's a faithful Catholic. One day he will be exposed for what he is.

If Cardinal Burke is off his game at the moment, he was in the slammer for over a year. It takes a while to come back mentally from that place.

I'm not speaking from first-hand experience, thank God. But I've seen what it does to people I known personally.

No there is Mass without Communion and Communion without Mass. But hand sanitiser instead of holy water?
