Cardinal Burke Discusses Immigration, IVF, and Gaza

Dear Friend, 

“We are cooperators with Our Lord in the Truth, and we should always remain serene.”

These words of Cardinal Raymond Burke in today’s Catholic Action Insights interview are perhaps the best account of his positive approach. Not just regarding the serious issues facing the Church today, but to all matters that affect us. 

Remaining serene in battle is like a mission statement for Cardinal Burke—and for us—as we navigate the complexities of the modern world. 

This interview of Thomas McKenna and His Eminence touches on numerous current affairs in our tumultuous political culture. Affairs that could greatly benefit from solid Catholic moral and social teaching. As always, the Cardinal brings the wisdom of his years and authority in the Church to bear on current issues. 

In this interview, you’ll find a wide-ranging discussion of numerous items of interest to Catholics. For example:  

• The critical differences between true refugees, historical immigrants, and the massive exodus from other countries that has overwhelmed our borders.
• The nature of the Charity that Christians owe others, the need for it to be balanced by prudential Justice, and the obligations that immigrants have to respect their host country’s laws and culture. 
• Gratitude for gains in the pro-life cause by the current administration but also a great need for solid Catholic voices to influence the debates and decisions with the wisdom of the Church’s moral teachings.
• The tragedy in Gaza and the need for a true and lasting peace in the Middle East so that Christians can thrive and worship again in the areas where the ancient Church was founded. 

Our Lord asks us to be the “salt of the earth and the light of the world” (Mt 5:13-14) because He wanted His disciples to contribute to the reform of sinful human society in every age. It means we have a great obligation to be informed about what is going on and to learn how we may bring our Catholic values to bear on every issue.

Thankfully, great churchmen like Cardinal Burke, give us their intelligent insights as we see in this video series. They help us to be cooperators with Our Lord in the Truth and to make the world a better place!  

Yours in the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary,

Thomas McKenna
