Church Must Stay Firm on Intrinsically Evil Acts – Cardinal Burke
“There are questions of intrinsic evils, for instance the killing of an innocent, defenseless human life is always and everywhere wrong. It’s intrinsically evil.”
Regarding the million babies killed in the womb every year in the USA, Cardinal Burke said that it is “really infanticide”.
About Euthanasia and the denial of nutrition and hydration to patients, Cardinal Burke said: “The Church has first of all, to announce clearly her teaching and not in any way give the impression that She’s unsure about what should happen in these cases, but at the same time to support those members of the faithful who are trying to establish Catholic medical schools, truly Catholic hospitals.”
On contraception, he said that it is “an attack on marriage“: “The true meaning of our human sexuality is that it’s not for lust, but it’s for love.”
Cardinal Burke knows that “the sacrifices that are made in order to have a family are more than repaid by God’s blessings”.
Regarding the culture war, he said that Satan tempts us with discouragement, making us feel “just like Don Quixote, fighting useless battles”: “But for us, we have no choice. Our mission is to honor God also by defending human life, by defending the family.”
He also spoke about apostasy, describing it as “the abandonment of Christ, the Gospel and the fundamental moral law, which leads us to rebel against God and to self-destruction”.
