Vatican Radio: interview with Cardinal Burke on the sacred liturgy

November 25, 2014

Vatican Radio has interviewed Cardinal Raymond Burke, the patron of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, on the sacred liturgy.

“What happened after the [Second Vatican] Council was the reform was hijacked by the so-called ‘spirit’ of the Council, which was not related directly at all to the actual texts of the Council Fathers,” said Cardinal Burke.

“The fact of the matter is that our communion with Christ, the substance of it, is the sacred liturgy, and in particular, the Holy Eucharist,” he added. “There isn’t anything more beautiful, anything better that we do, than to give worship to God as He desires us to do, and gives us the discipline in the Church to do.”

    The strange thing about this interview is that it was done last year: "Following the presentation, Cardinal Burke spoke with Vatican Radio about reform of the Sacred Liturgy." So why are they bringing this out now?
