| "Pope Francis" and +Parolin ... +Burke |
As for Catholics, how much longer can they put up with this pretender to the papacy, Jorge Mario Bergoglio? How can they countenance his 2ic, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, keeping a prince of the Church - especially one so holy and loved as Cardinal Burke - waiting at the Vatican's door and then turning him away because he'd refused an abortion-tainted fake "vaccine" which no Catholic, let alone a pope, should have accepted?
Catholics all over the world prayed for Cardinal Burke when he lay seriously ill with COVID. Surely they have the common sense to realise that he now has better immunity from the virus than even "Pope Francis" himself?
One can only hope that by now, Catholics all over the world are praying for Jorge Bergoglio, for his conversion.
+Burke, a member of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura, was recently stopped at the entrance to the building because he did not possess a Green Pass.
The Green Pass, issued by Italy and the Vatican, shows that the holder has been vaccinated against the China virus or recovered from it in the last six months. Burke suffered from COVID-19 in September of 2021, so his pass expired in March 2022.
The Vatican Green Pass requirements exceed the demands of the Italian government. A decree, issued by Parolin, compels all personnel and visitors to get a booster as a condition of entry to Vatican offices from Jan. 31.
Just as New Zealand's bishops' requirements exceed the demands of Ardern's government. Now why should that be???
Making the Call
While Burke was kept waiting at the door, security contacted the authorities heading the dicastery that oversees the complex process for the canonization of saints.

| Cardinal Semeraro - one of the Lavender Lobby |
The prefect of the congregation is Cdl. Marcello Semeraro, one of Francis' most-trusted advisers. In October, the pope conferred a red hat on the former bishop of Albano — a week after appointing him prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, where he replaced the disgraced Cdl. Angelo Becciu.
Semeraro, former secretary of the pope's Council of Cardinals, is on record as supporting civil unions for homosexual couples.
In a preface to the book L'amore Possibile: Persone Omosessuali e Morale Cristiana (Love is Possible: Homosexuals and Christian Morality), Semeraro calls for the inclusion of gays and underscores the book's message, asking how "procreative purpose and sexual intercourse within the male-female polarity are applicable to the homosexual condition."
Sources confirmed there was a phone call from the Congregation for the Causes of the Saints to +Parolin's office and that Parolin had personally ordered that +Burke be refused entry into the building.Burke has also been refused entry into other offices of the Holy See — even though the cardinal resides in an apartment within the sovereign territory of Vatican City State.
Hypocrisy and Mockery
Though a Green Pass is a must for entry into Vatican offices, over 3,000 people were allowed to congregate in St. Peter's Basilica for the Consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary — with no social distancing and no vaccine passport requirement.
Moreover, while the Vatican enforces strict mask regulations (even requiring the use of FFP2 masks and outdoor masking), Pope Francis is frequently seen violating his own rules, greeting world leaders and crowds of people without using a face covering.
Speaking at an in-flight press conference while returning from Slovakia in September, Francis railed against Cdl. Burke, a traditionalist, demonizing him as a "denier."
"In the College of Cardinals, there are a few deniers. One of them, the poor man, contracted the virus," the pontiff told reporters.
"One of them, poor thing, has been hospitalized with the virus. These are the ironies of life," Francis mocked.
Catholics on social media blasted Francis for his "low blow" and "unprincipled attack," calling it "very unbecoming for a man in his position." Others pointed out it was ironic that Burke "now has a greater immunity to the virus than the pope does."https://www.churchmilitant.com/news/article/popes-deputy-slams-door-on-unvaxxed-cardinal

| Resurrection Piero della Francesca |
Just as our Blessed Lord’s Passion, Death, and Resurrection took (almost) everyone by complete surprise, as though these had not been prophesied beforehand, so it seems that the Church’s own passion and seeming death have taken everyone by surprise, even though Holy Scripture, Sacred Tradition, the Church Fathers, and sundry theologians bear witness that the Mystical Body of Christ will have to undergo its own greatest trials before the end of the world.
We have, in prior posts and articles, already referenced a few such expositions of the Scriptures in which an apostasy from the Faith is foretold, and more specifically, in which it is prophesied that the papacy would be attacked and persecuted in the most frightful fashion. For a quick review of these important (and now extremely meaningful) prophecies, here are the links:
- Fr. Edmund O’Reilly (1882): ‘The Church may be without a Pope for a Long Time’
- Fr. Sylvester Berry (1921): ‘Satan will persecute the Papacy’
- Fr. Sylvester Berry (1927): ‘Satan will set up a False Church’
- Mgr. Fulton Sheen (1948): ‘Satan will set up a Counterchurch’
- Fr. Herman Kramer (1956): ‘Satan may seek to prevent a valid Papal Election’
While it is clear that throughout Church history, the Pope has always been a target of the Church’s enemies, inasmuch as he is the true Vicar of Jesus Christ on earth and the visible head of the Church, it is not surprising that in the last days the devil would galvanize all his forces to make one final, exceedingly powerful attempt to conquer the Pope and the Church. Such an ultimate Satanic battle against the God’s Kingdom on earth would be virtually unprecedented in terms of its nature, its extent, its fury, its power, its horror, and its cleverness.

And don't forget that Cardinal Burke has his own website. Bring it to the attention of your friends and pastors. Pastors may not be enthused but maybe your friends will have more of an open mind. Just Google.
ReplyDeleteAnd what happens, then, should a conclave have to be convened to elect a new pope? Would our good Cardinal Burke, and possibly others, be banned from attending the conclave? God help us, and perish the thought!
ReplyDeleteEffectively, it is segregation from bottom to top & top to bottom.My view as a former union officer is that when leaders are sanctioned against, then so is the movement - ostacised. In effect, it is a structural schism. Matt.
ReplyDeleteGood point, Bob
ReplyDeleteShould such a dirty trick take place the Good Cardinal would need a Canon lawyer.
If the Pope & Sec. Of State are going to stop authentic leaders & visitors from entering Vatican without a green pass, then stop the money going in. George.
ReplyDeleteI say:
DeleteYes, the hierarchy's treatment of an unvaxxed cardinal and laity is bad enough, but much worse is the cavalier treatment in the Novus Ordo of Our Eucharistic Lord. That's what has stopped my "money going in".
Communion in the hand was the death of reverence. Yes, it was present in the early church but banned for good reason.
ReplyDeleteI say:
DeleteYes indeed and those who introduced it must have known that. Masons. Communists. So hard to reverse that move - for those who've always stood to receive in the hand, what humility is required to kneel and to put out one's tongue! My PP (in his 80s) seems to have forgotten that it's not possible to say "Amen" while one's tongue is out to receive. He repeated "the Body of Christ" this morning and I was obliged to retract my tongue so I could say "Amen". That's a new development: previously I'd say "Amen" after receiving. Might have something to do with signing the bumf now required for everyone on the roster, being told by the parish secretary that that means I will have to wear a mask as required by the Church, and my repeated refusal to do so. I wish I'd thought to remark that "Pope Francis" very often doesn't wear a mask! Neither do our other two organists ...
The topic is really the barring of leaders of the Church. As one person hinted, looks like there's a coup in the making for the next conclave. Who takes the sceptre & the crown ? Prepare for a schism, a time when the true believers are cast into the wilderness. Put aside which part one belongs to.We who are faithful belong to Christ. Prophecy says that a new holy Pope will arise after a time of great trial. Viva Christo Rey ! Antonio.
