Here we go....this is it.

Soon the Faithful Remnant will be run out of Rome, and will go underground.....again.

The Catholic Church will go out the same way that she came in.....via the catacombs.




Cardinal Burke: Vatican's Synod Document 'Is a Direct Attack on the Lordship of Christ,' It's 'Apostasy!'


By Michael W. Chapman | October 7, 2019Cardinal Raymond Burke, who serves on the highest court at the Vatican and is the former Archbishop of St. Louis, Mo., denounced the Amazonian synod occuring at the Vatican this week, describing its working document as a "direct attack on the Lordship of Christ." He added that the synod, along with a pending synod in Germany, is undermining the "catholicity of the Catholic Church."

In a September interview with Sohrab Ahmari and published in First Things magazine, Cardinal Burke explained what a synod is supposed to be and how church leaders today are perverting the process to advance heterodox and heretical ideas.

"The fundamental concept of a synod was to call together representatives of the clergy and the lay people to see how the Church could more effectively teach and more effectively apply her discipline," said Burke. "Synods never had anything to do with changing doctrine or with changing discipline."

However, "the working document of the Pan-Amazonian synod is a direct attack on the Lordship of Christ," he said. "It says to people, 'You already have the answers, and Christ is just one among many sources of answers.' This is apostasy!"

When asked if Germany's "synodal path" is ecclesially valid, Cardinal Burke said, "It’s not valid at all. ...[T]hey are undertaking a process that is basically outside the Church -- in other words, attempting to create a church according to their own image and likeness. As far as I’m concerned, this synodal way in Germany needs to be stopped before greater harm is done to the faithful."
"They have already begun this, and they insist that it can’t be stopped," he added. "But we’re talking about the salvation of souls, which means we need to take whatever measure is necessary."

"The German bishops believe that they can now define doctrine, which is false," said Cardinal Burke. "Otherwise, we would end up with a whole group of national churches, each with their own preferences regarding doctrine and discipline. The catholicity of the Catholic Church is exactly what’s at risk."

"The Catholic Church is a church that has one faith, one sacramental system, and one discipline throughout the whole world, and therefore we’ve never thought that each part of the world would define the Church according to particular cultures," he said. "That’s what’s being suggested in this working document of the Amazon and in Germany."

Both the Amazonian synod and the German synod, according to numerous reports, are seeking to reinterpret the Church's teaching on sexual morality, priestly celibacy, and the role of women in the Church, among other issues such as climate change and immigration.
Many of the German bishops and close advisers of Pope Francis have argued that the reality of the world today makes marriage and chastity too difficult.

When asked whether our "hyper-sexualized culture makes it so much harder to adhere to the Church's moral teaching," Cardinal Burke said, "But even Saint Anthony of the Desert suffered these tremendous temptations. He saw images of naked women in his hermitage."
"One of our difficulties in life is that sometimes we permit ourselves to see sinful things: This is the great evil of pornography," said Burke. "We see images that stay with us and remain sources of temptation later. But in all of that, God gives us the grace to combat these temptations."

He continued, "Many today, because of the advances in science and technology, think that life should always be easier and more convenient, and they bring that mentality into the Church. So if there is any teaching that is hard, they simply say, 'Well, that can’t be right. It must be all right to fornicate or whatever else.'"

As for divorce and civil remarriage, the cardinal said that at the 2014 synod on the family "it was a German cardinal who said the Church’s teaching on marriage is an 'ideal,' that not all people are able to realize it, and therefore we need to give those who fail in marriage the possibility of entering into a second marriage."

"But the fundamental error is that marriage isn’t an ideal!" he said. "It’s a grace. Marriage is a sacrament, and those who marry, even the weakest human beings, receive the grace to live according to the truth of marriage."

Christ by his coming has overcome sin and its fruit, which is eternal death," said Burke. "He gives us, from his own being, from his own glorious body, the grace of the Holy Spirit to live in matrimony."

Asked if he sees signs of hope for the Catholic Church despite the present confusion and liberalism, Cardinal Burke said, "Liturgical renewal among the young is everywhere, and it gives me great hope. There are many young priests and seminarians who don’t buy this revolution one iota. And it’s the liturgy that often attracts them so much, because that is the most perfect and immediate encounter we have with Christ."

"They’re attracted to the ancient usage, the Extraordinary Form [traditional Latin Mass], because it has so many more symbols and is so much more expressive of the transcendent aspect of our life of faith," said the cardinal. "Our Lord descends to the altar to make himself sacramentally present."

"I believe that Christ said that He would never abandon us, that He would be with us until the consummation of the age," said Burke. "I believe Him. I trust Him."

"We ask you, brothers, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our assembling with him, not to be shaken out of your minds suddenly, or to be alarmed either by a "spirit," or by an oral statement, or by a letter allegedly from us to the effect that the day of the Lord is at hand. Let no one deceive you in any way. For unless the apostasy comes first and the lawless one is revealed, the one doomed to perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god and object of worship, so as to seat himself in the temple of God, claiming that he is a god-- do you not recall that while I was still with you I told you these things? And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. But the one who restrains is to do so only for the present, until he is removed from the scene. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord (Jesus) will kill with the breath of his mouth and render powerless by the manifestation of his coming, the one whose coming springs from the power of Satan in every mighty deed and in signs and wonders that lie, and in every wicked deceit for those who are perishing because they have not accepted the love of truth so that they may be saved. Therefore, God is sending them a deceiving power so that they may believe the lie, that all who have not believed the truth but have approved wrongdoing may be condemned. But we ought to give thanks to God for you always, brothers loved by the Lord, because God chose you as the firstfruits for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in truth. To this end he has (also) called you through our gospel to possess the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, brothers, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions that you were taught, either by an oral statement or by a letter of ours. May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting encouragement and good hope through his grace, encourage your hearts and strengthen them in every good deed and word." (2 Thes 2:1-17)


Our Lady of Akita (approved by the Church as worthy of belief)

The Blessed Virgin Mary said: "The work of the devil will infiltrate even the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against other bishops.. The priests who venerate Me will be scorned and opposed by their confreres ... churches and altars sacked, the Church will be full of those who accept compromises and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord. The demon will be especially implacable against souls consecrated to God. The thought of the loss of so many souls is the cause of my sadness. If sins increase in number and gravity, there will be no longer pardon for them. " (Our Lady of Akita, October 13, 1973)




There were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will introduce destructive heresies and even deny the Master who ransomed them, bringing swift destruction on themselves. Many will follow their licentious ways, and because of them the way of truth will be reviled. In their greed they will exploit you with fabrications…

…the Lord knows how to rescue the devout from trial and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment and especially those who follow the flesh with its depraved desire and show contempt for lordship…Their eyes are full of adultery and insatiable for sin. They seduce unstable people, and their hearts are trained in greed. Accursed children! Abandoning the straight road, they have gone astray, following the road of Balaam, the son of Bosor, who loved payment for wrongdoing…but he received a rebuke for his own crime: a mute beast spoke with a human voice and restrained the prophet's madness.

These people are waterless springs and mists driven by a gale; for them the gloom of darkness has been reserved. For, talking empty bombast, they seduce with licentious desires of the flesh those who have barely escaped from people who live in error. They promise them freedom, though they themselves are slaves of corruption, for a person is a slave of whatever overcomes him. For if they, having escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of (our) Lord and savior Jesus Christ, again become entangled and overcome by them, their last condition is worse than their first. For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from the holy commandment handed down to them. What is expressed in the true proverb has happened to them, "The dog returns to its own vomit," and "A bathed sow returns to wallowing in the mire."(2 Pt 2:1-22)
