Pro-gay group triggered by call to holiness
A leading homosexual activist is calling on Pope Francis to remove Cdl. Raymond Burke immediately from public ministry.
Francis DeBernardo, Executive Director of the pro-LGBTQ New Ways Ministry, was triggered by a video and letter from His Eminence addressing the Wuhan virus and a Catholic response.
Burke says today's culture has strayed from God, citing abortion, violence and attacks on human sexuality such as so-called gender theory.
In response, the activist fake-Catholic homosexual said Burke's comments "only incite desperate people seeking an 'enemy' behind the virus to perpetrate acts of violence toward LGBTQ people."
Janet Smith, Professor Emeritus of Moral Theology at Sacred Heart Major Seminary, responded to New Ways Ministry, explaining Burke did not even refer to LGBTQ people, let alone blame them for the pandemic.
Burke's main message was actually on the importance of prayer, especially during this pandemic.
Burke: "The fact of the matter is that prayer and worship of God alone will win the victory for us in this great crisis."
The cardinal encouraged Catholics not to lose heart, and provided them with two powerful devotions.

“Gays Want [Cardinal] Burke Dumped”
Is that what they are calling it now?

The Cardinal’s letter is very mild.
I’ve really grown to like this Burke. He is straight forward and sensible.
They’re probably not too keen on St. Michael either.
Why would any Church care what an open Sodomite 'demands'?
The open Sodomite needs to repent and come to Christ - not spending his time dictating a wishlist.
No one is forced here to be a Catholic or a Christian.
If you don’t like the rules, just walk away. It’s that easy.
God’s laws aren’t open to democratic voting.
What was wrong 2000 years ago is wrong now.
Sheesh.
"Likewise, we need only to think of the pervasive attack upon the integrity of human sexuality, of our identity as man or woman, with the pretense of defining for ourselves, often employing violent means, a sexual identity other than that given to us by God. With ever greater concern, we witness the devastating effect on individuals and families of the so-called “gender theory.”
What he is talking about is the violent acts of the homos, not attacks on them.
He is stating that their perversions are destroying them, IE they are destroying themselves.
There is no reasoning with such people, their insanity prevents it.
.
I've noticed that lately, anytime someone disagrees with a leftist, it is labeled "an act of violence". If there is one thing the left is good at, it is debasing the meaning of words.
Might this Cardinal be a distant relative of yours?
JK
I would say AMEN!
Wouldn’t that be great. It would also be great if he was related to the Epic Edmund.
I had to look up "Epic Edmund," the English poet.
To be honest, I'm not a fan of poetry. I had to take it in English lit in high school and most of it was lost on me.
Maybe, one day, when I grow up, I'll revisit it and like it!
LOL. No not a poet.
By Epic Edmund, I meant Edmund Burke, the old Rockingham Whig, the father of conservatism. It is from Edmund Burke that I take my screen name.
Burke, a brilliant writer and member of the British Parliament, was a critic of the Crown policies that led to the American Revolution and then against the policies of the British government during the war
But more importantly, he was the chief critic of the French Revolution and forecast with accuracy each stage of its destructive growth.
The term “conservative” was first applied in a political sense to Burke by French writers. Prior to that it was used as a cultural term, not political.
========================
From Google
In the 19th century, Burke was praised by both conservatives and liberals. Subsequently in the 20th century, he became widely regarded as the philosophical founder of modern conservatism.
Oh, THAT Epic Edmond! Lol. My bad.
Sometimes you can get a good read on someone’s character based on the company they keep, and who their enemies are. Burke checks all the right boxes.
Atheists masquerading as Christians.
