Cdl. Burke May Be On The Outs. Reactions?


Nihil Obstat

Don't disagree with your boss in public.

The good Cardinal has an obligation to lead his flock. Doing so is fulfilling his obligation to God which is infinitely more important than agreeing or disagreeing with the successor of St. Peter.

Thank God Saint Catherine of Siena didn't follow such logic when she told the Pope to "be a man" (her words) and do his job.

You guys sure didn't say the same things when bishops disagreed with Benedict.

 

If Bishops want to dissent from Church teaching, they are more than welcome to, and they shall suffer the penalties. But if Bishops are defending Church teaching and being penalized (not saying that this is happening, but it's a possibility), then that is an issue that needs to be rectified.

Pope Benedict did not allow Cardinal Kasper to run roughshod over Catholic doctrine.

I must admit, I haven't been keeping up to date on "Church politics" lately (by the way, what are the best sources for keeping up with that info?) but this news troubles me.

I don't really keep up either, but for interesting Catholic news information I would recommend Creative Minority Report and Life Site News

not sure what you're talking about.

 

Only problem I had with bishops & Pope Benedict (at least that I ever spoke about) was their lack of obedience to his motu proprio which isn't a doctrinal matter but a matter of obedience. The Pope explicitly allowed for the Extraordinary Form of the mass to be said by any priest who had the appropriate knowledge, and bishops fought and continue to fight back by telling their priests they can't or punishing them for doing something within their rights as a priest.

 

I haven't seen anything where Pope Francis told Card. Burke not to write something and then Card. Burke wrote it anyways. Even if that did happen, Pope Francis wouldn't have authority over Card. Burke's decision to publish or not publish non-authoritative material.

Rorate Caeli is a great site for keeping up with Church hierarchy and the goings-on therein.

Ancilla Domini

I also recommend The Remnant and The Vortex, but they're somewhat controversial on Phatmass. :P

 

Definitely recommend the Remnant. (Not altogether fond of the Vortex, though.)

That's alright, I can help you with that. ;)
