Welcome back to Cat again. It's live. I'm Psych Hill at your host joined by Joe

0:18.2

Heschmeier. It's a prince of the church lightning round right now because we've only got

0:22.8

him for 15 more minutes. So we will try to ask Cardinal Burke all the hard questions.

0:27.7

We're trying not to leave anything out. Cardinal, I thank you again so much for taking the

0:32.0

time to be here with us. Oh, you're welcome. Thank you for your apostolate with

0:39.7

Catholic answers. Well, I want to ask you about Cardinal Zen. There's just so many things

0:45.5

and I'm trying to get to everything. But Cardinal Zen from Hong Kong wrote a letter. I believe

0:51.4

it was meant to be private and was leaked. I'm not sure about the details there. But he

0:55.8

seemed to make a distinction in his letter between collegiality and synodality. And this

I can't come to any other conclusion is, as I said at the beginning early on,

1:51.0

turning the church on its head, in other words, to destroy the authority of bishops in favor of

1:58.2

this great deal, but you might want to call congregationalism. But with this strange feature

2:06.1

that now the bishops no longer have authority, but the Pope has this ultimate authority to declare

2:13.5

things. I mean, it's really quite shocking and alarming. And I would agree with Cardinal,

2:25.4

Cardinal Zen, the Christ called the apostles together as a college to be the doctors of the faith,

2:34.5

to be the high priests in the church. And that's something that is a divine origin and that can't
