Arch Burke's full remarks from IRL meeting at Mundelein

Sadly, the great joy of our gathering in these days to celebrate the life and death of Father John A. Hardon, S.J., an outstanding religious priest, and to honor and encourage so many institutes of the consecrated life which are striving to be faithful are overshadowed by the public and obstinate betrayal of religious life by certain religious. Who would ever imagine that religious congregations of Pontifical Right would openly organize to resist and to frustrate an apostolic visitation, that is, a visit to their congregations carried out under the authority of the Vicar of Christ on earth, to whom all religious are bound by the strongest bonds of loyalty and obedience? Who would ever imagine that consecrated religious would, in defiance of the Bishops as successors of the Apostles, publicly endorse legislation containing provisions which violate the natural moral law in its most fundamental tenet, the safeguarding and promoting of innocent and defenseless human life, and lacking provisions which safeguard the free exercise of the rightly formed consciences of health care workers?

We witness a growing tendency of certain consecrated religious to view themselves outside and above the Body of Christ[FSPA, SSJ-TOSF], as a kind of parallel body which looks upon the Church with an autonomy which contradicts the very nature of their consecration. We have come a long way from the total loyalty to the Roman Pontiff, which was at the heart of the foundation of the Society of Jesus and of every religious congregation. Religious life lived in the heart of the Church and, for that reason, religious congregations are, by their very nature, united in total loyalty to the Roman Pontiff. It is, of course, an absurdity of the most tragic kind to have consecrated religious knowingly and obstinately acting against the moral law.

Yes, the opposition to and even persecution of those who witness to the truth are fearsome. We, however, are called to share in the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Even as Christ alone is the salvation of the world, even so we can only serve the world by our total communion with Him, in doing the truth with love “to the end.” In fact, the world which seems so much opposed to the Church and her witness to the truth is hungering, to the point of starvation, for the unfailing witness of Catholics who are, in Father Hardon’s words, “real,” who are ready to be martyrs, if necessary, for what is true and good.

Some interesting remarks about La Crosse, where the FSPA, SSJ-TOSF used to teach faithfully.  Burke actively sought to bring in sisters who were "real" and not actively trying to destroy the Catholic faith.
As Bishop of La Crosse, I was convinced of the need of a convent and house of formation for young women, in which the authentic renewal of religious life would be manifest. Mother M. Ingeborg Rohner, F.S.G.M., of the Saint Elizabeth of Hungary Province of the Franciscan Sisters of the Martyr Saint George put faith in what I was proposing to do and generously missioned four of her Sisters to the Diocese of La Crosse to undertake what was a new apostolate for her congregation. The Franciscan Sisters of the Martyr Saint George have continued to assist me, over the years, in a host of ways. I am deeply grateful for the witness of their consecrated life and the zeal with which they undertake the apostolate, all in fidelity to their spiritual father, Saint Francis of Assisi, and their foundress, Mother M. Anselma Bopp.

I also owe a deep depth of gratitude to the Nashville Dominicans who, after my eight years of begging, first for the Diocese of La Crosse and then for the Archdiocese of Saint Louis, missioned three Sisters to the Archdiocese of Saint Louis for the significant strengthening of the apostolate of the Catholic schools in the Archdiocese.
