You can bet your bottom dollar if Cardinal Burke was her bishop she would have not been thrown under the bus. Too many Catholic bishops are spineless cowards, nothing more than backslapping democrat politicians. Dolan and Wuerl come to mind.

Pardon me if I speak as a non-Catholic/non-Christian, but it seems to me that the Catholic Church puts undue emphasis on “the poor” at the expensive of Christ’s other teachings, and at the expense of the whole corpus of Divine wisdom found in both the Old and New Testaments.
The overarching emphasis on “the poor” seems to easily lead the Catholic clergy into naive collaboration with various shades of manipulative Communist philosophies and politics which ultimately help neither the poor, nor society, nor the appeal of Christianity at all.
As an outsider, I’m curious to hear if others on the inside notice this.
