Cardinal Burke: Fatima message warns of ‘practical apostasy of our time’

[Michie]

'The message speaks about the practical apostasy of our time that is the going away from Christ by so many in the Church and the violence and death which are its fruit,' said Cardinal Burke.

The message of Fatima relates to the “practical apostasy of our time,” Cardinal Raymond Burke said this weekend.

Offering Mass on Sunday to mark the 108th anniversary of the third apparition of Our Lady of Fatima, Cardinal Burke homilized about the importance of the First Saturday devotions and the import of the message of Fatima for current times.

“The message speaks about the practical apostasy of our time that is the going away from Christ by so many in the Church and the violence and death which are its fruit,” he said.

Expanding on his commentary about individuals within the Catholic Church, Burke added:

Many – while they may not directly espouse heretical teachings – in practice reject the truth and love which flows unceasingly and immeasurably from the glorious pierced heart of Jesus through the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Instead they embrace the confusion, lies, and violence of contemporary culture. Their lives contradict the most fundamental truths of the faith.
