Amazon synod has set Pope Francis' professional haters on edge
There is no danger from EWTN and Burke to the Church. It is the souls of those who they are discomforting that I worry about.
Burke is confusing Francis for Hegel and the gift of the Holy Spirit for Theodicy. The Spirit is using God as meme for Her own purposes. That we see Her doing so is an act of faith. Jesus sends the Spirit because there is much that the Twelve were not capable of understanding. Burke denies this, putting loyalty before Faith and doctrine before Truth. It is his loss and a sin against those who follow him.
Do not waste the November meeting of the USCCB On Burke and EWTN. They are 20 funerals away from obscurity. Highlight the Synod, Laudato Si' and the attack on the biosphere. Opposition to the Synod is not just protection of existing lines of business and exploitation in service of profit. Climate change forces migration. Refugees are cheap labor. The problems really are integrated. The solution must be as well.
