See! Even Cardinal Burke agrees!



"I see a perfect continuity with Pope Benedict XVI."
Axed whether there are “substantial differences between [Popes Benedict and Francis] on the importance of the sacred liturgy,” Cardinal Burke replied:
I don’t see it at all. The Holy Father clearly hasn’t had the opportunity to teach in a kind of authoritative way about the sacred liturgy, but in the things he has said about the sacred liturgy I see a perfect continuity with Pope Benedict XVI. I see in the Holy Father, too, a great concern for respecting the magisterium of Pope Benedict XVI and his discipline, and that is what Pope Francis is doing. - Source

  1. when I moved up from TN to Chgo. I was around 13 and had developed that deep Southern accent with some word pronunciations that need interpreting at times.

    One afternoon while visiting a new neighborhood friend and classmate, her mother asked me if I would like to go with their family to some event that evening. I was very excited and said, "yes, but first I had to go home and 'axe' my parents." Their (mother, daughters and father) immediate and dramatic response just silenced me for a few frightening seconds wondering what I did that was wrong or said.

    They all started screaming and begging me not to do that to my parents. [axing my parent - Lizzie Borden style] Then I got it ... immediately I started practicing saying the word 'ask' ...

    2. If the Church leaders are going to go on this Gay Crusade of theirs, they really gotta butch it up a little first!

  3. Sorry, Terry,

    I think ++Burke is just being a good company man here in not allowing anything he says to bring criticism to Francis.

    "In addition to the above, the Holy Father Francis has directed that every religious of the congregation of the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate is required to celebrate the liturgy according to the ordinary rite and that, if the occasion should arise, the use of the extraordinary form (Vetus Ordo) must be explicitly authorized by the competent authorities, for every religious and/or community that makes the request.”
