US Cardinal [Burke] Says ‘Christian Nations’ in West Must Counter Islamic Influx

(RNS) Amid heightened tensions over ISIS-fueled terror attacks and anti-Muslim rhetoric, a prominent U.S. cardinal says Islam “wants to govern the world” and Americans must decide if they are going to reassert “the Christian origin of our own nation” in order to avoid that fate.

Cardinal Raymond Burke, a Rome-based prelate known as an outspoken conservative and critic of Pope Francis’ reformist approach, said in an interview on Wednesday (July 20) that Islam is “fundamentally a form of government.”

While Catholic teaching recognizes that all Abrahamic faiths worship the same God, Burke criticized Catholic leaders who, in an effort to be tolerant, have a tendency “to simply think that Islam is a religion like the Catholic faith or the Jewish faith.”

“That simply is not objectively the case,” he said.

Burke, who was once archbishop of St. Louis, stressed that he did not want to be “disrespectful” of Islam or “generate hostility.”

But he said he worries that many people do not understand that, in his view, “when they (Muslims) become the majority in any country they have the duty to submit the whole population to Shariah,” as the Islamic code of law is known.

The cardinal is a canon lawyer who headed the Vatican’s court system before Francis named him chaplain of the Knights of Malta, a Rome-based charitable order.

Burke still shows he is a coward and a Vatican II religionist when he says things like this:

The Catholic teaching recognizes that all Abrahamic faiths worship the same God....that Islam is a religion like the Catholic faith or the Jewish faith.”

and .....that he did not want to be “disrespectful” of Islam or “generate hostility.”

and...that individual Muslims “are lovely people” and can speak “in a very peaceful manner about questions of religion.”

When will the so-called Catholic hierarchy drop the Vatican II kumbaya schtick and boldly speak the Truth? Like this guy:

I vow to… exalt the true Faith, and to extirpate the diabolical sect of the reprobate and faithless Mahomet [Islam] in the East. -Pope Callixtus III

Burke is a heretic and the weed of heresy always bears bitter fruit!

A great and short video on Archbishop Sample’s article in the Catholic Sentinel. He nails it! This is one of the best Catholic websites that’s not afraid to expose the truth about the crisis in the church today.
