Cardinal Burke and the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate

What changes have been wrought in Catholic opinion and attitudes in the past 9 or 10 months alone.

But, early in 2012, Cardinal Raymond Burke was the celebrant at a Pontifical High Mass in Rome.

And the choir?

The Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate.



There are those who will exclaim and cry out "Clericalism" "Pomp" and "Ritual" but others will see evidence of reverence, beauty and innocence.

Three things stand out regarding this good Cardinal.

1. He is orthodox and does not flinch or avoid the truth of Christ when under intense pressure

2. He has long been allied with the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate Order

3. He has a devout love for the Latin Mass, the EF Mass, if you will.

Having long been aligned with the Friars, he is now maligned with them.

Do the Vatican Hokey Cokey


"Woe-woe, Papa Bergoglio....."

You put your left man in,
Your right man out:
In, out, in, out,
You shake it all about.
You do the hokey cokey
And you turn around
That’s what it’s all about.

Woe, woe, Papa Bergoglio,
Woe, woe, Papa Bergoglio
Woe, woe, Papa Bergoglio
Now we’re really up the creek!

You put a liberal in,
You put a good man out:
In, out, in, out,
You shake it all about.
You do the hokey cokey
And turn the Church upside down,
That's what you're all about.

Woe, woe, Papa Bergoglio,
Woe, woe, Papa Bergoglio,
Woe, woe, Papa Bergoglio,
Now we’re really up the spout!
