It might be a bit spookey but it is mostly a wonderfully soothing response from Cardinal Burke. Simply wonderful spiritual advice here that we must pick ourselves up anew each day and set out as pilgrims on the way to our eternal destination, picking up our Cross as we go. We must persevere to the end, we must run the race to the end, we must fight the good fight.
I have been following Sean Ryan for about 4 years. He has interviewed several of my favorite people. FrDan Reehil and Fr Ripperger and Dan Schneider who worked with Fr Ripperger. He has returned to his Catholic faith after a hard and dangerous life. He was a Navy Seal and had severe PTSD and treatment that involved psychedelics. Bad idea!! I am so pleased to see Cardinal BUrke interviewed with him. Shawn has the potential to be a great Catholic evangelist.
I was very surprised to see Cardinal Burke agree with Sean that it was Demons afflicting him, That would not have been my first port of call in Discernment, it would have been regarding the condition of his brain, as it would with everyone who suggested such a thing. Then after ruling out the brain then move onto the paranormal. Not demons first. Personally to me Sean looks very unwell. I am not being negative about the poor man, but I think he needs a lot of help. Assuring him that it was indeed Demons was not the kind of help he needed. It is only affirming him in this stuff. Not a helpful diagnosis, plus it does not make us Catholics look too good. The Cardinal would have done well at least have asked them to switch off the camera so they could talk about this stuff in private, not in front of half the planet.
