Cardinal Burke detailed the problem of apostasy, both explicit apostasy of abandoning the faith or implicit by claiming to be Catholic yet not living according to the faith or living it empty of real meaning, and also brought in the meaning of heresy.
“It is clear that apostasy, either explicit or implicit, leads hearts away from the Immaculate Heart of Mary and, thus, from the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the only font of our salvation,” he said. “In that regard, as the Message of Fatima makes clear, the pastors of the Church who in some way cooperate with apostasy, also by their silence, bear a very heavy burden of responsibility.”
