Cardinal Burke tells Catholics to stay close to Jesus

Post by Maria »

Cardinal Burke, when asked yesterday by LifeSiteNews in an exclusive interview what the faithful should do when they see Synod Fathers suggesting heterodox positions regarding homosexuality and divorce, replied that the the faithful must stay close to Jesus.

“We follow our Lord Jesus Christ. He is our Master. And we are all held to be obedient to him and to his word, beginning with the Holy Father and with the Bishops. If a bishop, or a priest, or anyone, should announce something or declare something that is contrary to the truth of Our Lord Jesus Christ, as it’s communicated to us in the teaching of the Church, we follow Christ.”

“I say to people who are very anxious, because it seems in this time that there is simply a lot of confusion and statements that are really quite stunning about the faith, that we should remain serene. Because, in the Catholic Church, we have teaching authority, which is expressed, for instance, in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and we simply need to study those things more deeply, adhere to them more ardently, and not be led astray by false teaching, from whatever source it comes,” he said.

How can one stay close to Jesus if the "church" they attend is not the True Church of Christ, if the "church" they attend does not hold to that unchanging faith once preached by Christ-God to His Apostles for all peoples, all times, and all places?

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.
