*Cardinal Burke, Bishop Schneider Announce Crusade of Prayer and Fasting*
Citing *“serious theological errors and heresies” in the Amazon Synod’s
working document,* they call on the faithful to* pray and fast over a 40
day period to prevent **such errors being approved. *

Cardinal Raymond Burke and Bishop Athanasius Schneider have issued an
eight-page
declaration <http://www.ncregister.com/images/uploads/BurkeSchneider.pdf>
warning against *six “serious theological errors and heresies”* they say
are *contained in the **Amazonian Synod working documen*t
<http://www.ncregister.com/daily-news/amazonian-synod-planners-chart-course-through-three-conversions>,
and
calling for prayer and fasting to prevent them being approved.

Cardinal Burke, patron of the Sovereign Order of Malta, and Bishop
Schneider, auxiliary of Astana, Kazakhstan, have also published the appeal
so Pope Francis may “confirm his brethren in the faith by an unambiguous
rejection of the errors” in the working document.

They propose that clergy and laity “pray daily at least one decade of the
Holy Rosary and to fast once a week” for such intentions over a 40 day
period, from Sept. 17 to Oct. 26.

The working document, called an *instrumentum laboris*, is meant to guide
discussions during the upcoming Oct. 6-27 synod of bishops whose theme
is: *Amazonia,
New Paths for the Church and for an Integral Ecology. *

But the text has received some trenchant criticism since it was published
in June from "various prelates and lay commentators, as well as lay
institutions." Most notably they include Cardinal Walter Brandmüller
<http://www.ncregister.com/blog/edward-pentin/cardinal-brandmueller-synod-document-is-attack-on-the-foundations-of-the-fa>,
president emeritus of the Pontifical Committee for Historical
Sciences, and Cardinal
Gerhard Müller.

prefect
of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.

One particularly contentious area concerns *the subject o*f *priestly
celibacy*. In their declaration, *Cardinal Burke and Bishop Schneider ask
that the Pope not approve the “abolition” of priestly celibacy in the Latin
Church through the ordination of married men of proven virtue, the
so-called “viri probati”. *

The working document proposes discussion of such *a measure to help bring
the Eucharist to faithful in remote Amazon areas that are without a priest*.
Critics are concerned about such an innovation, in particular that* it
could undermine mandatory priestly celibacy universally by being latterly
applied to all areas suffering from a shortage of priestly vocations. *

 *“Principal Errors” *

The American cardinal and Kazakh bishop write that they believe it is
“their duty to make the faithful aware” of *six “principal” errors *“being
spread through the *instrumentum laboris.” *

The first they list is *“implicit pantheism” *—* the identification of God
with the universe and nature where God and the world are one *— which they
say is rejected by the Magisterium.

Secondly, they criticize *the notion* put forward in the working documen*t
that pagan superstitions are “sources of Divine Revelation and alternative
pathways for salvation.*” This implies Amazon tribes have pagan
superstitions that are an “expression of divine Revelation,” deserving of
“dialogue and acceptance” by the Church, they argue.

Citing Church documents, the two prelates state t*he Magisterium rejects* *such
“relativization” of **God’s revelation*, and instead “affirms that *there
is one unique Savior, Jesus Christ, and the Church is His unique Mystical
Body and Bride.” *

Thirdly, they cite as erroneous *the theory *contained in the document *that
“aboriginal people have already received divine revelation, and that the
Catholic Church in the Amazon should undergo a ‘missionary and pastoral
conversion.’” **The Magisterium rejects **such a notion of missionary
activity as “merely intercultural enrichment,” *they argue, and that
inculturation is primarily about “evangelization” that makes the Church a
“more effective instrument of mission.”

Fourthly, they criticize the working document for its support of *“tailoring
Catholic ordained ministries to the ancestral customs of the aboriginal
people, granting official ministries to women and ordaining married leaders
of the community as second-class priests, deprived of part of their
ministerial powers but able to perform shamanic rituals.” *

*“The Magisterium of the Church rejects* *such practices, and their
implicit opinions,*” the prelates state, and draw on a number of Church
documents including Pope St. Paul VI encyclical *Sacerdotalis Coelibatus *and
Pope St. John Paul II’s apostolic letter *Ordiniatio Sacerdotalis, *to
underline their point.

Fifthly, they state that consistent with *the document’s “implicit
pantheistic views,” the instrumentum laboris “relativizes* *Christian
anthropology”** by considering man “a mere link in nature’s ecological
chain” and “socioeconomic development as an aggression to ‘Mother Earth.*’”*
The Magisterium rejects **such beliefs *that man does not possess “a unique
dignity” above “material creation” and the “technological progress is bound
up with sin,” they state.

Lastly, they warn against *what the working document calls an integral
“ecological conversion” which includes “the adoption of the collective
social model” of aboriginal tribes, where “individual personality and
freedom are undermined.*”* The Magisterium*, the two signatories say, again*
“rejects** such opinions”* and they go on to quote from the *Compendium of
the Social Doctrine of the Church.*

*Manifestation of Confusion*

In conclusion, Cardinal Burke and Bishop Schneider say these “implicit and
explicit” errors are an “alarming manifestation of the confusion, error and
division which beset the Church in our day.”

They add that “no one” can say they were not aware of *the “gravity of the
situation” *and so excuse themselves from “taking appropriate action” for
love of Christ and His Church.

Given such a threat, *they call on “all members” of the Church to “pray and
fast” for her members “**who* *risk being scandalized, that is led into
confusion, error and division” by the synod text.*

They write that “every Catholic, as a true soldier of Christ” is called to
“safeguard and promote the truths of the faith” lest the synod bishops
“betray” the synod’s mission which is to assist the Pope in the
“preservation and growth of faith and morals.”

And recalling that *Blessed John Henry Newman will be canonized during the
synod, they reference two of his writings in which he “warned against*
*theological
errors similar to the above-mentioned errors in the instrumentum laboris.” *

They close by *calling on the Blessed Virgin Mary and the intercession of
missionary saints to the indigenous American people to protect the synod’s
bishops and the Holy Father “from* *the danger of approving doctrinal
errors and ambiguities, and of undermining **the Apostolic rule of priestly
celibacy.”*
