In the book, entitled Hope for the World, Cardinal Burke argues that the “ferocious attack against life today” results from “the distortion of the sexual act by contraception”, and urges Catholics to defend human life.
He adds: “The devil, of course, wants to discourage us: he tries to sow doubt in our minds about defending human life publicly. And he subtly tempts us to remain silent, to mute our conscience, to tell ourselves that we are personally against abortion but do not have to express our faith and moral convictions in public.”
Cardinal Raymond Burke was born in A.D. 1948, long before the travesty of the Roe V Wade SCOTUS decision.
Was this a Medical Doctor who made that recommendation - or simply an abortionist pretending to be a Medical Doctor?
