Right-Wing Cardinal Compares Gay And Remarried Catholics To Murderers

[n2doc]

During an interview with the conservative outlet LifeSiteNews, Roman Catholic Cardinal Raymond Burke said that the church must not budge on its teachings on homosexuality and remarriage, suggesting that gay and remarried Catholics who are dedicated members of the church are not all that different from “the person who murders someone and yet is kind to other people.”

Religion News Service, which first reported the story, notes that Pope Francis “effectively demoted” Burke, who emerged as “one of the pontiff’s most outspoken critics on the right.”

Burke told LifeSiteNews that the church must continue its practice of denying communion to such Catholics and see homosexuality as an “intrinsic evil.”

1. and what about child-molesting clergy and the Bishops who protected them

speaking of children:
Mark 9:42

King James Bible
And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.

3. Good on Francis for "demoting" this kooky throwback. He should continue with that approach

if he wants to bring the Church into the twenty-first century.
