VATICAN, November 23, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – Cardinals Raymond Burke and George Pell will not remain members of the Congregation for Divine Worship, the Vatican has confirmed in a list of the liturgical office's new members.
Burke and Pell are known for their Catholic orthodoxy and strongly pro-life and pro-marriage stances. Burke is one of the four cardinals who has formally requested that Pope Francis clarify whether Amoris Laetitia is at odds with Catholic moral teaching. After the cardinals' request went unanswered for two months, the cardinals went public with their concerns. Burke has said cardinals will need to make a "formal act of correction" if Pope Francis doesn't clarify the serious errors related to the exhortation.
The Congregation for Divine Worship's new list of members can be seen here. The office's membership was recently gutted, with numerous progressives appointed as replacements.
Cardinal Robert Sarah is the Prefect for the Congregation for Divine Worship. Sarah has fearlessly opposed gender ideology and urged priests and bishops to more closely follow the rubrics of the Ordinary Form of the Mass by facing ad orientem instead of versus populum.
In a last-minute change, Pope Francis recently spoke instead of Sarah at the Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage and the Family in Rome.
Sarah then backed out of a prominent speaking engagement in which he had confirmed his participation multiple times.
The prophets are never popular.
Shouldn’t there be dialogue first? Maybe a period of discernment?
Ugh! More bad news out of this Vatican. Prayers up.
fortunately, the Vatican’s too small to have a (real physical) Gulag
Any Catholic who unquestioningly follows the pope into moral relativism and one-world religion heresy is at schism with the real Church, as is the pope.
Steve86 you are right on the money. Such times. Needing a Vatexit next, I’m afraid. (Popexit?).
I’m not a RC, but I am very concerned about the bastion of one of the oldest Christian organizations being under assault from the inside like this.
God bless and help us all.... and expose the Truth and Lie, wherever and whatever they are!
Troubling.
Nothing new ... happened in the past. We have our Lord's assurance that "the gates of hell will not prevail against His Church". In its 2000 year history, the Catholic Church has been guided by some outstanding popes and a few bad apples. Yet, not one of them has ever erred in doctrinal teaching on faith or morals. Pope Francis has come very close to the edge with his apostolic exhortation 'Amoris Laetitia' but did not step over by formalizing it as doctrine.
We Catholics pray daily for our Holy Father and trust in our Lord to continue to guide the Church He founded. Like those who came before him this pope will one day be replaced by another.
The Vativan, now a banana republic, is being run by a tiny, vindictive little man.
Satan is attacking all Christian denominations. We’re Methodist and they got voted down at General Conference only to defy The Book of Discipline and install clergy who are gay. The Methodist Women support Planned Parenthood! I am not a member of MW. The Methodist Men are pro-life! So, it’s becoming a war in the heavenlies and we must chose whose side we will stand on- God or Satan. We’re praying II Chronicles 7:14 before and after the election awaiting the healing of our land!!!
"Is the Pope Catholic? No. He's a Jesuit!"
Ohhhhhh,somebody’s pissed......
Ohhhhhhh,somebody’s pissed
Yikes!
Just curious, why are you so interested in the Vatican comings and goings? Do they have any impact on your daily life?
As I said...just curious.
