Ah, words!
How powerful they are with the simple! How many of the latter there are!
Cardinal Wuerl has now made clear what the strategy of the Modernist faction (led by TMAHICH) against orthodox Catholics (factually led by the SSPX, and by Cardinal Burke in the Conciliar camp) in the months leading to October will be: comparing them to “dissenters”.
Wuerl's aim is transparent enough: leveraging on the love for orthodoxy of your common Catholic to create an aura of rebellion around those who defend Catholic orthodoxy, whilst letting the heretics appear orthodox because the Pope sides with them.
Mind, Cardinal Wuerl makes no names of who his “dissenting” brother bishops are: but Cardinal Burke and Bishop Schneider immediately come to mind, together with the five Cardinals who authored “Remaining in the Truth of Christ”. Others have also spoken, but I think these seven are the main targets.
Will it work? Nope. Catholicism is a very strong plant, not easily eradicated from the West. Those who are instructed in Catholicism will not fall in the stupid trap. The stupid will, but they were lost anyway.
Now the problem of Wuerl, Francis and all the other heretics is this: they can certainly make an impression on the masses by telling them what they want to believe, but Catholicism is not a democracy. There will always be enough bishops, priests and laymen to utterly expose the lie, and cause a nuclear conflict that defies the scope of the rebellion on day one; because there will always be a compact front of true Catholics making it impossible for the others to claim that “the church has changed”. And I talking of the West here. In Africa and vast part of Asia, the heretics have lost already.
Everyone knows what reality is. Even the most stubborn divorced-and-remarried, communion-taking activists will be forced to recognise that a heretical hierarchy had to pretend the rules have changed in order to accommodate them. There is no escaping facts, however loud you shout.
The slandering of orthodoxy has just found a new term, and who knows whether, perhaps, many more will be found until the High Noon showdown at the Synod. But it will never work.
If Francis thinks he can ram heresy down the throat of Catholic faithfuls and have them swallow it whole, he is very much deluded. His lies will be eagerly accepted by all those in desperate need of hearing what they know are lies, but all the others will atomise his pontificate both in life and in death.
Oil your guns, fellow orthodox Catholics. Come October you may have to use them day in and day out in your warfare against heresy from the highest place.

When I first read Wuerl’s article earlier today I had much the same thought. How can you call someone who supports 2000 straight years of biblical theology and Church tradition a “disssenter”?
.....Or CONSERVATIVE Catholic Faith!
The “ironic” thing though was late last night, I saw on FoxNews, Megyn Kelly, this same Cardinal during a homily for Ash Wednesday speak about those 21 Coptic Christians who were killed a few days ago and about Christians in the Middle East who put their lives at risk to practice their faith in Christ.
Just plan ironic.
Not ironic. We don’t accurately know what the Cardinal is speaking about...Mundabor inserts the names of who he thinks it is.
The Cardinal was beaten down over gay marriage and gay adoption, standing with the Church. That means he loves the Church. Some things he wimps out on. That means he is a fearful bishop, like any bishop that isn’t martyred young probably is.
Whatever.
Faith, Hope, Charity. Why do folks write articles that reveal a lack of all three!!!!
We conservatives are our own worst enemy it seems to me.
Trust in the Church, in Jesus. The Pharisees tried really hard to do the right thing and missed it in the process. I think we conservatives are doing that as well often times, which causes me to be branded a liberal or progressive or satan in sheeps clothing, blah, blah, nice charity.
One day Cardinal Burke will be a canonized saint. The only thing waiting for Donna Wuerl is burning in the pits of hell for for desecrating the Holy Eucharist by giving communion to practicing homosexuals and baby killers.
