Burke, while he has theological confreres, is not especially thought highly of for his pastoral administration in St Louis, and that baggage also wears on his plausibility as potential member of the papabile.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015949969530867456.post-37428127994059749392017-10-02T20:45:24.571-04:002017-10-02T20:45:24.571-04:00Sad to say but I think it's a matter of, keepi...Sad to say but I think it's a matter of, keeping your friends close & your enemies even closer.

If you all haven't read it, go and read Fr. Blake's post on the 'FEAR' inside and outside the Vatican. Inside the Vatican, Fr. Blake says the atmosphere is TOXIC. Pretty strong choice of words, I'd say, eh? I am truly afraid for C. Burke, pray for him! And yes, I do believe the idea is to silence him in ANY way they must. The goings on in the Vatican are (dare I say) DIABOLICAL at this point, and I don't think that's an exaggeration......AT ALL!

He is a very good and holy man who will (IMHO) never be elected to the See of Peter for a variety of reasons (American, legalistic background, rigid traditionalist, etc... - none of which are good reasons for not being elevated to the See of Peter but still reasons none the less).<br /><br />What is this all about then? Let's just say that (I believe) it's much harder to hit a moving target. Box it in, narrow its ability for movement and potential escape, and then watch for the clear shot. I think the good Cardinal needs to be very careful. <br /><br />This is a cold and calculated move aimed at, ultimately, elimination.<br /><br />Cardinal Caffarra and Cardinal Meisner pray for the safety of Cardinal Burke and Cardinal Brandmuller!<br /><br />These are horribly wicked days we live in.<br /><br />I hope no pray I am wrong about this.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015949969530867456.post-17168586723570900522017-10-02T02:32:56.337-04:002017-10-02T02:32:56.337-04:00My guess - and it is only a guess - is that Bergog...My guess - and it is only a guess - is that Bergoglio re-appointed Burke because he thinks Burke isn't a threat. Specifically, Burke has shown no signs of proceeding any further with the "fraternal correction". <br /><br />My guess is that Burke has no chance of being elected Pope at the next consistory. Many cardinals will see him as too conservative and question his support for a "fraternal correction", others will see him as too legalistic and attached to ceremonies, and some may even question why he didn't take the next step and actually issue the "correction". <br /><br />We don't know what the future will hold. Perhaps Cardinal Sarah will become Pope. But perhaps we'll get someone whose even worse than Bergoglio! All we can say is that the Church and the World need prayer and penance.
