CARDINAL BURKE SHAMES CHURCHIAN COLLABORATORS

     Raymond Burke, a Cardinal in the papal hierarchy, returned to his former bishopric in LaCrosse, Wisconsin to preside over services last Sunday. It was the Feast Day of the Virgin of Guadalupe (patron saint of Mexico) and occurred the same week as the Feast of the Virgin of the Immaculate Conception (patron saint of the United States). 

   Wisconsin, as we now know, was one of the epicenters of voter fraud during the recent election. It's governor, Tony Evars, is a pathetic little cuck who is a former bureaucrat in Academia, Inc. and has been an obnoxious pest all throughout the Scam-demic. His Eminence, the Cardinal spoke truth to power to Christians everywhere on Sunday that should have put our rather flexible American clergy to shame. 

   

     The entire sermon is on Youtube, which will likely be taken down by our tech overlords as soon as one of their political police 'fact-checkers' feel offended by it. The text is reprinted here, however. Since this is a transcription, I put explanatory notes and editing for clarity in brackets.  

     "Praise be Jesus Christ.

     "We come before Our Lady of Guadalupe on her Feast Day with troubled and heavy hearts. Our nation is going through a crisis which threatens its very future as free and democratic. The worldwide spread of Marxist Materialism, which has already brought destruction and death to the lives of so many and which has threatened the foundations of our nation for decades, now seems to have seized the governing power over our nation. 

  "To attain economic gains, we as a nation have permitted ourselves to become dependent upon the Chinese Communist Party---an ideology totally opposed to the Christian foundations upon which families and our nation remain safe and prosperous. I speak of the United States of America, but evidently many other nations are in the throes of a similar, most alarming crisis.

 "Then there is the mysterious Wuhan Virus about whose nature and prevention the Mass Media daily gives us conflicting information. What is clear, however, is that it {the virus} has been used by certain forces inimical to families and to the freedom of nations to advance their evil agenda. These forces tell us that we are now the subjects of the so-called 'Great Reset:' the 'New Normal'---which has been dictated to us by their manipulation of citizens and nations through ignorance and fear.

  "Now, we are supposed to find in a disease the way to understand and to direct our lives rather than in God and in His plan for our Salvation. The responses of many bishops and priests---and of many faithful---has manifested a woeful lack of sound Catechesis {the philosophy upon which the totality of Church Doctrine is based}. So many in the Church seem to have no understanding of how Christ continues His saving work in times of plague and of other disasters. 

  "What is more, our Holy Mother Church---the Spotless Bride of Christ in which Christ is ever at work for our eternal redemption, is beset by reports of moral corruption especially in matters of the 6th and 7th Commandments {i.e., against adultery and stealing as enumerated in the Catechism} which seem to increase by the day. In our own nation, the reports about Theodore McCarrick have rightly tempted many devoted Catholics to question the Shepherds; who, in accordance with Christ's Plan for the Church, are to be their secure guides in teaching the truths of the Faith; by leading them in the fitting worship of God; and in prayer to Him; and by guiding them by means of the Church's perennial discipline. 

  "Too often, the faithful receive nothing in response---or {they receive} a response which is not grounded in the unchanging truths of Faith and Morals. They receive responses which seem not to come from Shepherds, but from secular managers {instead}. The confusion over what the Church truly teaches and demands of us generates even greater division within the Body of Christ. All of this cripples the Church in her mission of witness to Divine Truth and Divine Love---at a time when the world has never needed more the Church to be a beacon. In encountering the world, the Church falsely wants to accommodate itself to the world instead of calling the world to conversion in obedience to the Divine Law written on every human heart, and revealed in its fullness in the Redemptive Incarnation of God the Son. 

  "These grievous troubles---of course---present a serious challenge to our daily Christian living. The impact of the crisis upon the world and in the Church affects all of us; many are enduring the most severe suffering---physical, spiritual, and psychological---that such a situation necessarily causes. At a time when we need to be close to one another in Christian Love, worldly forces would isolate us and have us believe that we are alone and dependent upon secular forces which would make us slaves to their godless and murderous agenda."

  {Here His Eminence offered a prayer for the intercession of the Virgin of Guadalupe, which was in Spanish. He then continued:}

   "Yes, our hearts are understandably heavy. But Christ, through the intercession of His Virgin Mother, lifts up our hearts to His Own and renewing our trust in Him Who has promised us Eternal Salvation in the Church. He will never be unfaithful to His promises. He will never abandon us. Let us not be beguiled by the forces of the world and by false prophets. Let us not abandon Christ and {let us not} seek our salvation in places where it never can be found." 

     As the Cardinal rightly observed, the leaders of the Insurgency in their smug self-assurance and arrogance are a long way from defeating God's Government (although some of these cretins are actually stupid enough to believe that they can). The Elites are not invincible. This isn't the first time in modern history that gangs of blackguards have banded together to impose some kind of 'scientific' dictatorship upon mankind.

   The Great Reset will fail, as these other schemes failed. But as Cardinal Burke noted, we are in for a very difficult time for the foreseeable future. That's the sad reality right now---and the even sadder truth is that we, as Americans, brought this impending doom down upon ourselves. Facing that fact is the first step towards freeing ourselves.
