Cardinal Burke Responds to Dubia Criticism, Warns Synod Aims to Change Church’s Structure...
"I see that the high priests of the House of God have
become soft in their ways. They cater to their bodies and do not wish to
sacrifice and make penance. There will be no easy road to the Kingdom. They will
get down on their knees, and they will starve their worldly bodies until they
rid themselves of the demons within them.
"Unless you listen now to my words of caution,
you will fall into the trap that is being set for you. The enemy is within the
House of God. He will seek to remove your Vicar from among you, and when he does
he will place a man of dark secrets upon the Seat of Peter!" - St. Thomas Aquinas, August 21, 1972
“Rome will lose the faith and will become the seat of Antichrist.” – Our Lady of La Salette, September 19, 1846
"Unless you restore My House, My Church, to its former glory your doors will close, your clergy will be persecuted, and only a remnant shall be left. Is this what you want, you who consort and try to form a socialistic church upon earth?" - Jesus, July 25, 1979
"Prepare, My children of light, for a great time of persecution. It will come about that all who follow My Son shall be labeled as 'crazy,' 'fanatical,' 'having hallucinations,' and all other manners to commit them and take them from society, a society that is ruled by Lucifer." - Our Lady, November 25, 1978

By Michael Haynes
On the eve of the Synod on Synodality, Cardinal Raymond Burke noted the Synod is built on arguments that “depart strikingly and gravely” from the Catholic faith, and he also responded to criticisms of his recent dubia.
“The Holy Spirit is very often invoked in the perspective of the synod … but there is not a single word about the obedience due to the inspirations of the Holy Spirit that are always consistent with the truth of the perennial doctrine and the goodness of the perennial discipline that He has inspired throughout the centuries,” Burke said at an event organized by La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana and entitled “The Synodal Babel.” (A transcript of the cardinal’s speech can be found here.)
Burke’s comments came as he headlined a conference held October 3 in Rome on the eve of the Synod and one day after the dubia on the Synod was published. Cardinal Burke joined Fr. Gerald Murray, a canonist, and Professor Stefano Fontana, a philosopher, in outlining the theological, canonical and philosophical errors and dangers of the Synod on Synodality.
“It is unfortunately very clear that the invocation of the Holy Spirit on the side of some has for its purpose the advancement of an agenda that is more political and human than ecclesial and divine,” Burke warned.
The Church’s agenda and only one, that is, the pursuit of the common good of the Church, that is, the salvation of souls, the salus animarum which ‘in Ecclesia suprema semper lex esse debet.’ The Church’s agenda is the Church’s common good.
The former prefect of Apostolic Signatura pointed to a misuse of language that he said was contributing to a widespread confusion of theology. “Confusion about theology, morality and even elementary philosophy in which we live is fueled by a great lack of clarity in the vocabulary used … sometimes new words are introduced or exaggerated without a clear definition, as in the case of the word synodality.”
In this case of the confusion over the essential features of the Church, there is a risk of losing the identity of the Church, our identity as members of the Mystical Body of Christ, as branches in the ‘true vine’ that is Christ and of which the eternal Father is the farmer.
He also linked his concerns about the Synod on Synodality to concerns about Pope Francis’ 2022 restructuring of the Roman Curia, as effected in Praedicate Evangelium. The Pope’s 2022 changes introduced more lay governance in the Curia and removed aspects of theological significance, such as the terming of the Curial bodies as Dicasteries rather than Congregations.
Burke highlighted the themes of “missionary” and “synodality” in both Praedicate and the Synod, saying how “their elevation to essential traits of the Church and, therefore, fundamental criteria of the restructuring of the Roman Curia – and now with this synod to the whole Universal Church – lends itself [sic] to ambiguities and misunderstandings that must be recognized and dispelled.”
Outlining an understanding of mission and synod from the Church’s Tradition, Burke stated:
It does not seem to me necessary to go into detail to understand that the synod opening tomorrow is nothing more than a direct extension of what has already been pointed out by the Apostolic Constitution Predicate Evangelium.
It is therefore at least singular to say that we do not know in what direction the synod will go, when it is so clear that the will is to profoundly change the hierarchical constitution of the Church. A similar process has been employed in the Church in Germany to achieve the same much harmful purpose.
Responding to criticism of the dubia
Burke also made a break from the initial draft of his speech to discuss briefly news of the dubia that he and four other cardinals published October 2 concerning issues of Catholic doctrine and the Synod.
Citing an article on the dubia in the Italian press, the cardinal noted how “two synod fathers” declared that “the times of the Church are not those of these confreres,” meaning the dubia cardinals.
The Synod fathers reportedly continued: “They cannot dictate the agenda to the Pope, however causing injuries and undermining unity in the Church. But now we are used to it: they just want to hit Francis.”
Responding to this, Burke stated:
These comments reveal the state of confusion, error, and division that permeates the session of the Synod of Bishops that will begin tomorrow. The five dubia deal exclusively with the perennial doctrine and discipline of the Church, not an agenda of the Pope. They do not deal with past “times.”
“The language is very revealing of the worldliness of the vision,” he commented. “Then, they do not deal with the person of the Holy Father. In fact, by their nature they are an expression of due veneration for the Petrine office and the successor of St. Peter.”
Burke added how such attacks on the dubia “seem to reflect a fundamental error recently expressed” by the new CDF prefect, Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernández, who argued that the Pope’s “unique charism” is equal to the “deposit of faith.”
“The Church has never taught that the Roman Pontiff has a special gift to constitute his own doctrine,” Cardinal Burke noted.
“One must reflect on the gravity of the ecclesial situation when the Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith accuses of heresy and schism those who ask the Holy Father to exercise the Petrine Office to safeguard and promote the depositum fidei,” Burke said.
Appeal to fellow prelates
Cardinal Burke, who was joined at the conference by his fellow dubia signatory Cardinal Robert Sarah, noted a stark contrast between the Synod, its working document and the Catholic faith:
We are told that the Church we profess, in communion with our ancestors in the faith since the time of the Apostles, to be one, holy, catholic and apostolic, must now be defined by synodality, a term that has no history in Church doctrine and for which there is no reasonable definition. It is obviously an artificial construction, more like a human construction than the Church built on the rock that is Christ.
The Instrumentum laboris of the upcoming session of the Synod of Bishops certainly contains statements that depart strikingly and gravely from the perennial teaching of the Church.
In light of this, he urged his fellow bishops and cardinals to publicly “reaffirm our faith,” calling on bishops to “to confirm their brothers.”
“Today’s bishops and cardinals need a great deal of courage to confront the grave errors coming from within the Church itself,” he said. “The sheep depend on the courage of the shepherds who must protect them from the poison of confusion, error and division.”
Synod is not an imitation of the Eastern Synods
Vatican proponents of the Synod on Synodality have often argued in defense of the event, saying that is simply an extension to the Western Church of the synods that take place in the Eastern Church.
This argument has already been rejected as baseless by the Greek Byzantine Rite Catholic Bishop Manuel Nin, and Cardinal Burke echoed Nin’s comments. “I have regular contact with Eastern bishops and priests, both Catholic and Orthodox, all of whom have told me that the way the synod is organized has nothing to do with Eastern synods,” he said.
“This applies not only to the place of the laity in these assemblies, but also more generally to the way they operate and even the issues they address. There is confusion around the term synodality, which people artificially try to link to an Eastern practice but which in reality has all the characteristics of a recent invention, especially with regard to the laity.”
He added how a “change in the Church’s self-understanding has as a further consequence a weakening of teaching on morals as well as discipline in the Church.”
“I do not linger long on these points, dramatically known by all: moral theology has lost all its points of reference,” he added. “It is urgent to consider the moral act in its totality, and not only in its subjective aspect.”

Our Lady of the Roses Awesome Bayside Prophecies... https://www.tldm.org/Bayside/ These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995.
HIGHEST MITRES
"Do not be misled by the outer clothing of man, for there are many wolves in sheep's clothing, wearing the apparel of rank. Know that many have given themselves to satan.
"Pray, pray much for those who wear the highest mitres, for they, too, have set themselves onto the road to hell. Your prayers and your acts of sacrifice and those who hear My voice, pray much for the Red Hats that have gone onto the wide road." - Our Lady, October 2, 1974HIGHEST PLACES OF THE CHURCH
"We ask that you pray much. Pray for those in the House of God who have lost their way. Many mitres are now going onto the road to perdition. Pray for them, for it is of great sorrow to Our hearts to see a man of God fall from his mission.
"Satan has entered into the highest places of the Church.
"Pray much. I have asked you in the past to help patch the cracks. The bark of Peter flounders.
"You will stand fast with Our Vicar. Do not allow your hearts, through your ears and human senses, to be misled. The enemies of God send out false interpretations.” - Our Lady, April 13, 1974CONTROL OF MANY MAJOR POSITIONS
"Control—you must know, my child, and tell the world that satan has control now of many major positions in the House of God, in the Eternal City of Rome. Traitors surround your Vicar. His sufferings are great.
"Already they have chosen his successor. But pray, my children, pray much that he does not be removed, for woe to the world! The crucifixion of the Mystical Body of Christ! Woe to mankind!"
Veronica - Now Michael is stepping back, and he's now pointing with his spear. He has a spear in his right hand. He's pointing with his spear now, and he's pointing to a cardinal. And he's now writing above his head: "W".
Now he's going over—I should be able to see him; he's standing right in front of him, and he's pointing to the next cardinal, and he's writing above his head: "A".
And he's then going to the next one—he's sitting way over at the end, though, and he's writing above his head: "S".
Now he's coming forward, and he's pointing his spear with disdain at a "V", a big "V". A big "V" now is appearing on the head of, I guess he's a bishop, or archbishop. He's wearing the same kind of a, like a . . . a . . . he's got a biretta-like, one of those little round hats. It's sort of a purplish color. And now above his head is written the letter "V".
Now Michael is bending forward.
St. Michael - "They are the initials, my child. You will pray for them, and ask many of earth's children to pray that they come out of the darkness. Their souls wallow in sin. They are blinded, and they are misleading those under their rule.
"V. does much damage to the Holy Father [Pope Paul VI] by changing his correspondence. V. rewrites his letters. V. censors his mail. He did not, my child, receive the medals you sent to him. He did not receive your correspondence, my child. The Holy Father shall receive his knowledge from Mary, the Queen of Heaven and his Mother." - St. Michael, August 21, 1974“SET TO RIGHTS THE DAMAGE”
“I, Michael, guardian of the House of God, give fair warning to all cardinals and bishops in all houses upon earth, churches, that you must set to rights the damage that you have created, the damage that has destroyed many souls.
"It will be a command of the Father from Heaven that all in authority defrock and excommunicate those under their rule who seek to destroy the Faith as given by the Father from Heaven.
"Speak, my child; speak now as I have directed you. There is a major law in the Faith of Jesus Christ that none shall enter into secret societies of the Masons. The sons of satan are rulers, known by the name of Freemasons. All who join this heinous..."
Veronica - Oh! Oh, my goodness! Oh!
St. Michael - "All who join this secret society will immediately be condemned to the abyss forever.
"Those in rule will excommunicate and defrock all who enter and make pact with the separated brethren and who will compromise the Faith with the separated brethren.” - St. Michael, August 21, 1974PLAN OF LUCIFER
"You will stand behind your Vicar. The agents of hell surround him. They will not remove him from the Seat of Peter. A greater punishment falls upon man should he be removed from the Seat of Peter! It is the plan of Lucifer to sit his agent upon the Seat. I have warned you many times that your ways have led you into great destruction.
"The hand of God will fall heavy upon your world. For a man to let himself fall into perdition in his lay life . . . but when this perdition has entered into the House of God, it calls for a speedy and fast destruction! For all that is rotten will fall. Weak vines will break, boughs will be bent, but the cross of the living God shall not be bent by the will of man and to satisfy the desires of a corrupt generation! No-o-o! For woe to those who promote evil in the House of God! They will be held accountable in full measure for the fall of the souls entrusted to their care." - Our Lady, May 30, 1973

There are 4 Things You Must Have to Survive the End Times:
1.) The Douay-Rheims Holy Bible...
"I ask that all who hear My voice will take their Bibles, and if they do not have one, search, but find the right Bible, those printed not after 1965, My children." - Jesus, October 5, 1985
"You must all obtain a copy of the Book of life and love, the Bible. Do not accept the new mods. Try to find in your bookstores the old Bibles, My children, for many are being changed to suit the carnal nature of man. I repeat, sin has become a way of life." - Our Lady, October 6, 1992
"I must ask you all to read but a few short chapters a day now, the Book of life and love, your Bible. Knowledge must be gained for all the disciples of My Son, for you will be attacked by scientific minds. But do not be concerned what you will say to them when accosted, for the words will be given to you by the Spirit." - Our Lady, April 10, 1976
The Douay-Rheims Bible was published in 1899. It is the official Bible of the Roman Catholic Church. Almost all other Bibles have been rewritten by Satan. See: https://www.tldm.org/directives/d33.htm , https://www.tldm.org/directives/d415.htm and https://www.tldm.org/directives/d182.htm If you don't have a Douay-Rheims Bible order it now!

Read the Bible cover to cover. If you read 4 chapters a day, you will complete the whole Bible in 334 days. I have read the Bible 2 times and working on the third time. A 75 year old Baptism gentleman told me that he and his wife have read the Bible nine times. Wow!
