Of course, Burke, you keep pretending that nothing is happening in the Church, and when someone with more sense than you puts in your mouth the rebukes to the (anti)pope that you should have made since Prevost showed his colors, you attribute it to the works of the devil.
What a shame on cardinals!
-Cardinal Raymond Burke:
Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Concerning false videos and images circulating online, it has come to my attention that certain deceptive productions are being circulated which attribute to me words of opposition to His Holiness, Pope Leo XIV. These reports claim that I have delivered a so-called “rebuke” of the Holy Father, regarding his teaching and governance of the Church. I state with all clarity that such assertions are entirely false. I have made no such statements, nor have I given any address or interview even remotely resembling what is being described.
These videos are fabrications — works of deceit produced through technological manipulation of my image to convey messages I have never delivered. The deliberate use of falsehood to sow division within the Church is gravely sinful. Our Lord Himself teaches that the devil “was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies” (Jn 8, 44). These falsified productions bear the unmistakable mark of the Evil One, who ever seeks to confuse the faithful and to set brother against brother within the Mystical Body of Christ.
I therefore declare publicly and unequivocally my obedience, filial love, and unwavering respect for the Supreme Pontiff, Pope Leo XIV, the Vicar of Christ on earth. The unity of the Church around the Successor of Saint Peter is willed by Our Lord Himself and is essential to the integrity of our Catholic faith. I urge all the faithful to give attentive heed to the authentic teaching of the Holy Father, and not to the voices of division which distort the truth for worldly purposes and sow the seeds of scandal among souls.
Let us respond to this situation not with anger or suspicion, but with faith and prayer. The Christian’s first recourse in every trial is always to the Heart of Jesus, who conquers falsehood by the power of His truth and love. I ask you, therefore, to pray earnestly for those who create and spread such deceptions, that, touched by divine grace, they may turn from darkness to the light of truth, from the bondage of lies to the freedom of conversion, and be reconciled to God who is rich in mercy and abounding in steadfast love.
