Catholic Cardinal: Parents Should Shield Children from Gay Family Members

Cardinal Burke - Self-Loathing Closet Case?

The Roman Catholic Church hierarchy has participated in a worldwide criminal conspiracy to obstruct justice and protect predatory priests from prosecution.  Various calculations put the number of victims across the globe in the hundreds of thousands.  Yet Cardinal Burke has the gall and audacity to make statements that parents should keep their children away from gay family members.   Excuse me, but if one is truly worried about the well-being of their children, keeping them away from Catholic priests would seem to be the far smarter approach.  And that's without factoring in how much the Catholic Church f*cks one up emotionally and psychologically.  Blogger friend Jeremy Hooper looks at Burke's heinous lies and anti-gay animus.   Here are excerpts from Good As You:

Cardinal Raymond Burke, former Archbishop of St. Louis, is now the Cardinal Prefect of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura. This essentially means that he is second only to the Pope in terms of judicial authority within the Catholic Church.

And now here he is putting to lie the idea that the Catholic Church is becoming more accepting:

“If homosexual relations are intrinsically disordered, which indeed they are — reason teaches us that and also our faith — then, what would it mean to grandchildren to have present at a family gathering a family member who is living [in] a disordered relationship with another person?”..."We wouldn’t, 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. 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.”

Covering up the sexual abuse of children and youths is always and everywhere wrong, yet I don't see or hear of Burke demanding the defrocking of bishops and cardinals who aided and abetted sexual predator priests. I can only assume that Burke is a big time self-loathing closet case.  Seriously, what straight man would wear the freaking outfit he's wearing in the photo above?
