Jotham Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Quote The Pope has reportedly taken action against a notoriously anti-LGTBQ+ US cardinal. According to AP, Pope Francis has revoked the right to a subsidized Vatican apartment and retirement salary for Cardinal Raymond L. Burke, 75. The Pope reportedly told a meeting of heads of the Vatican that Burke spread “disunity” in the church. Burke, who spends much of his time in his home state of Wisconsin, has long been a critic of Pope Francis. In particular, he has thrown shade at the Pope making overtures toward the LGBTQ+ community. Burke used to occupy a senior position at the Vatican as its high court justice. However, he was fired from this position in 2014 by Pope Francis. Many saw the move as a response to Burke’s criticism. ... Burke said same-sex relationships are “intrinsically disordered”, and therefore, children should not be exposed to them. “If it were another kind of relationship – something that was profoundly disordered and harmful – we wouldn’t expose our children to that relationship, to the direct experience of it,” he argued. “And neither should we do it in the context of a family member who not only suffers from same-sex attraction, but who has chosen to live out that attraction, to act upon it, committing acts which are always and everywhere wrong, evil.” According to a representative for Burke, the cardinal was unaware of losing his Vatican apartment or salary. He has not issued any comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rune Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 "“If it were another kind of relationship – something that was profoundly disordered and harmful – we wouldn’t expose our children to that relationship, to the direct experience of it,” he argued." A cardinal of the Catholic Church would know what is and isn't harmful to children, huh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
