20-13. Cdl. Burke: Faithful Catholics Must Remain in the Church, Hold Bishops Accountable to Apostolic Tradition...
REMAIN STEADFAST
"My Son placed upon earth representatives. They will counsel in truth or answer to the Father for their fallacies, for their abominations, for their half-truths, and for their falling into all the false modes of modernism and humanism which We find prevalent among many.
"We ask all to remain steadfast and do not leave their home parishes. The heart of the House of God is the coming of My Son through the Consecration of His Host. "My children, I repeat: do not leave your parish church, but remain as an example. The Eucharist, My Son, is always with you. Comfort Him, as His heart is torn by the many abominations being committed in His House and by many of His clergy.
"It will not be an easy road for you and all who carry the light. The forces of darkness are great upon your world now, but remember, My children, at the end of this battle, it will be victory for Heaven and all who have given themselves as children of God and remain faithful and true."

DO NOT LEAVE YOUR PARISH CHURCH
"My children, I repeat: do not leave your parish church, but remain as an example. The Eucharist, My Son, is always with you. Comfort Him, as His heart is torn by the many abominations being committed in His House and by many of His clergy.
"It will not be an easy road for you and all who carry the light. The forces of darkness are great upon your world now, but remember, My children, at the end of this battle, it will be victory for Heaven and all who have given themselves as children of God and remain faithful and true."

In an interview with German Catholic news outlet Die Tagespost, Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke encouraged faithful Catholics to remain in the Church in fidelity to Christ, and to work from within the Church for a much-needed ecclesiastical reform, even should it require openly correcting bishops when they betray the faith.
“Catholics must bear witness to the truth of the faith,” Burke said. Addressing the distress of orthodox Catholics at the agenda of pro-synodal bishops, such as those of Germany and Ireland, who are aggressively pushing for “another church and another faith,” Burke tried to bolster the laity in their witness to Christ, saying, “In the tradition of the Church, a synod is a way to find out how to defend and promote the Catholic faith, not to create another Church and another faith. I think these good Catholics, as painful as it is, must remain in their communities and fight for the truth of the faith.”
“If everyone leaves,” he continued, “the Church would otherwise fall into the hands of those who destroy the Catholic faith and its practice. It is important that the faithful do not leave the Church, because Christ promised us to always remain with us in the Church. We thus remain with Christ, even if we have to speak very openly with our own bishops when they propose something that does not correspond to the Catholic faith. We must return to the sacred tradition.”
Emphasizing the need to be faithful to the Church’s Apostolic Tradition, the cardinal declared, “To call fidelity to Catholic doctrine rigidity is simply wrong.” Burke reminded the lay faithful that they have the right and duty to express their concerns about the Church to their pastors. He also recalled to bishops their duty to uphold the faith, which they undertook by oath at their episcopal consecration.
“The dynamism of the Catholic faith comes from its continuity,” Burke said. “Faith is God’s work and comes to us through the tradition of the apostles. This is not rigidity, but fidelity to tradition, and bishops are obliged to do so by the oath they took when they were ordained bishops. To call fidelity to Catholic doctrine rigidity is simply wrong. The faithful have the right and the duty to express their concerns about the Church. Believers should openly exercise this right – it is in canon law.
The cardinal doubled down on the need for good Catholics to correct their bishops when they have spoken or acted against the faith, saying, “In cases where the faith is betrayed even within the Church itself, it is even more important for her to insist on Catholic doctrine and practice. They must understand that they are not free to do so, but that they are obliged to defend the Catholic faith in these times. Obedience can never command us to do anything that is against faith and good morals.”
Asked what practical means the faithful might use in defense of the faith, the prelate pointed to the effectiveness of the means of communication as well as the publication of the great Catholic classics: the writings of the saints, Fathers, and Doctors of the Church.
“First of all,” Burke said, the faithful need “to use the means of communication to spread the message and, for example, to publish the classical expositions of the Catholic faith – from the Fathers of the Church, the great theologians and the reliable authors of the present. Insist on talking to the pastor about these issues.”
Cardinal Burke remains a strong voice for faithful Catholics, who appreciate his outspoken defense of the Church’s authentic doctrine and practice.
ONLY TRUE RELIGION
"O My children, I will not go into a long discourse now with you about charity and love for your neighbor, but you must understand: you cannot judge your neighbor. You must pray for them. However, you cannot become weak and permissive. You must stand forth as bearers of the light, carriers of the truth. You have been given by your baptism entrance into the only true religion upon earth, the Roman Catholic Church under My Son, Jesus. Though man in his arrogance and pride has forgotten His role and His rule, you must carry it forward. Retain the Faith and the truth in the hearts of mankind."
- The Bayside Prophecies
Our Lady of the Roses, September 7, 1978
DO NO ABANDON
"Do not abandon My Son any longer by rejecting His Church. Do not judge My Son's Church by man. The foundation is My Son, Jesus. And though the walls may develop cracks, the foundation is solid. Will you not remain and patch these cracks, My children? We do not wish that you break apart into small groups of discord. No schisms must take place in My Son's Church. For all who are baptized a Roman Catholic must die Roman Catholics to enter Heaven. A rejection of the papacy, a rejection of the Faith because of human reasoning shall not be accepted by the Eternal Father in Heaven. Remain faithful and true forever unto the end."
- The Bayside Prophecies
Our Lady of the Roses, November 20, 1979
“Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven."
- Matt. 10:32-33
