It is true that the situation is complicated. He incorrectly stated that the sspx has been determined to be in schism. Despite what some bishops have said the SSPX has not been determined to be in schism by the Vatican. They have been accused of performing a schismatic act (the consecrations), but not of having been or still being in schism.
To ve honest, I’m quite surprised Cardinal Burke would be so careless in his language, especially given the recent changes in the status of the SSPX sacraments, and former statements from the Ecclesia Dei office stating it is ok to go to sspx masses as long as It is for legitimate reasons. It SEEMS to show a lack of charity and/or understanding on his part-time especially given the general craziness present in the Church today.
Thanks for the summary, very much.
Cardinal Burke has often, or at least occasionally, seemed to be straining, but in final analysis he does not dispute V2 “intentions”, and treads lightly on the disastrous results.
It’s as if he too is on a journey, trying to reconcile events related plainly to V2 with his own good measure of faith and reason, knowledge and responsibility to shepherd.
