What happened?
Cardinal Raymond Burke and three bishops from Kazakhstan have signed a document aiming to affirm traditional Church teaching on morality, marriage, non-Christians religions and several other subjects. The statement, which is also signed by Latvia’s Cardinal Janis Pujats, says the doctrines have been “obfuscated, undermined, and denied”.
Why was it under-reported?
This is far from the first document to address current doctrinal confusions: there was, for instance, the 2017 “Profession of immutable truths” led by the same three Kazakhstan bishops, and the “Manifesto of Faith” issued in February by Cardinal Gerhard Müller, formerly the Vatican’s doctrinal chief.
