The Church's enemies are delighted about the "current devastating attack" on the divinely given authority of the Church from within her very body and "even at her head", Cardinal Raymond Burke told an audience in Bratislava, Slovakia (April 27).
Speaking during the festival Bratislavské Hanusove Dni about marriage and family, he pointed out that the enemies of the Church do not publicly acknowledge their joy in order that right-minded [stupid] people will not realise what is happening "until the destruction has been completed."
Therefore, Burke encouraged the Catholics to "soldier on" in defence of the truth, "There can be no place for silence or an attitude of defeat".
He pointed out that "confusion and error" about Catholic marriage was first expressed by Cardinal Walter Kasper. This "became evident to the world during the first Synod of Bishops in 2014."

Thats the Cardinal Burke we have been waiting to hear.
Wow.
In an address given during that 1976 Eucharistic Congress in Philadelphia for the bicentennial celebration of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, Cardinal Karol Wojtyla spoke some words which I believe were prophetic. - ‘’We are now standing in the face of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has ever experienced. I do not think that the wide circle of the American Society, or the whole wide circle of the Christian Community realize this fully. We are now facing the final confrontation between the Church and the anti-church, between the gospel and the anti-gospel, between Christ and the Antichrist. The confrontation lies within the plans of Divine Providence. It is, therefore, in God’s Plan, and it must be a trial which the Church must take up, and face courageously. ~ Karol Cardinal Wojtyla, who became Saint John Paul the Great {Karol Cardinal Wojtyla, Notable & Quotable, Wall Street Journal (Nov. 9, 1978), 30.}
