ARCHBISHOP BURKE BACKPEDALS ON "CANONICAL APPROVAL"

After a lengthy hiatus from posting to this blog, for reasons beyond this writer's control, the writer has found a brief snippet of time to comment. More will surely follow in subsequent days as time permits.

On this evening, the writer found the time and inclination to peruse the official website of the Bluechip Soccer Camp in Rome City, IN, found at oltiv.org.

Interetsingly, the writer found a post dated June 2009, found at http://www.oltiv.org/2009_06_01_archive.html , which describes Archbishop Raymond Burke as the "overseer of justice." Somewhat of a stretch, in this writer's view.

The post "reports" that Burke, when interviewed by a staffer from Inside the Vatican, claimed that he conducted a study of the apparitions of Our Blessed Mother to Sister Mildred Mary Neuzil. This claim is provably false. In fact, this writer has personally spoken with the clergyman who did, in fact, study the matter and offer his report to Burke. So, Burke never personally studied this apparition at length.

Further, it is highly likely that Burke is not the original author of his infamous "canonical approval letter."

Nevertheless, Burke goes on to claim that, based upon "his" study, "he" has concluded that Archbishop Liebold knew and "approved" the apparitions. The Archdiocese of Cincinnati disputes Burke's findings.

The simple and basic fact is that Holy Mother Church has conducted no formal investigation of the apparitions and, until that occurs, there cannot be any full canonical approval of the devotion, contrary to the spurious claims of the charlatans who have attempted to hijack this devotion, all for the sake of money and profit.

While this writer firmly believes that the Blessed Mother gave Her messages to Sister Mildred, the writer is not content to accept the misrepresentation that the "devotion" has received full canonical approval, as has been claimed by Pirate Dan Lynch, Albert Langsenkramp, and Kevin McCarthy.

Claims of "full canonical approval" have been falsely made by those who expect to gain financially from such false representations.

By Thy Holy and Immaculate Conception, Oh Mary, Deliver us from evil and from those who seek to profit from Your messages
