In the anomalous current trend to avoid clear positions on anything and to play down even the memory of the rituals associated with the Church in favor of dramatic, dialectical, and combative statements about poverty, no one finds the time to go down into the street and give living witness as asked for by the Pope in a loud voice during the Chrism Mass of March 28, 2013. The words of Pope Frances echo in our hearts: “…I ask this of you: be pastors who smell of the ‘smell of your sheep’. May you hear these words!” To this we say: Would that these words were heard! Would that these pastors were seen!
And we today have seen and heard only Cardinal Burke, a true pastor down among his sheep.
