Your takeaways from this article are supposed to be as follows:
1) Hmm, Cardinal Burke really isn’t so different from a real/traditional Catholic;
2) He is really on our side;
3) We should join forces with him for the restoration of the Church!
But Menzingen (and their Roman handlers) know you are not yet “prepared” to accept that, so the second half of the article points out some objections to things Burke has said.
But the seeds are planted, and the terrain is being prepared.
What you are definitely NOT supposed to take away from the article is:
1) Burke is absolutely committed to the errors of Vatican II, with the hermeneutic of continuity being the Hegelian spoonful of sugar to help swallow the bitter medicine;
2) His resistance is a false resistance designed to attract those who do not understand the doctrinal nature of the war in the Church (or overcome the resistance of those who do, such as the SSPX), and dilute and recondition their resistance;
3) This tactic of winning “traditionalists” over to mitigated conciliarism will hurt the prospects for the recovery of the Church by eliminating any voices of reproach against Roman and conciliar modernism (faith comes by hearing);
and most egregiously:
4) The SSPX is complicit in this effort of betrayal of God, Church, and souls (whether it realizes it or not).
