Cardinal Burke vs. the Red Pope

Cardinal Raymond Burke says his recovery slow after COVID-19 ...

Cardinal Burke

Francis I, the “go-along to get along” pope, has reportedly “punished” Cardinal Raymond Burke [am I supposed to say Raymond Cardinal Burke? I’d like to show respect] for being “a source of disunity in the Church” (https://www.8newsnow.com/news/international/ap-pope-punishes-leading-critic-cardinal-burke-in-second-action-against-conservative-american-prelates/).

Anonymous leaks from a Nov. 30 meeting said the pope took away the cardinal’s Vatican apartment and his salary.

Well, he spends most of his time in America anyway; and you can be sure he isn’t in it for the money. And millions of Christians, in a heartbeat, would freely contribute to the cardinal’s expenses if he needed it.

Burke’s offense? He does not go along to get along. Unlike this pope, he does not trawl the depths for political allies among liberals and communists. Cardinal Burke does not subscribe to this pope’s addiction to playing footsie with the Far Left Crazy.

Pray for Cardinal Burke: O Lord our God, stand by your faithful servant Raymond Burke, whose defense of the Scriptures and the truth is a shield of faith for all Christians regardless of denomination. Please, Father–uphold him and confound his enemies. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Prayer Request: Cardinal Burke

Patty and I have been praying for Raymond Cardinal Burke, who was hospitalized with COVID earlier this month and had to be hooked up to a ventilator. We are Protestants, but we know a hero of the Church when we see one!

We’ve just learned today that Cardinal Burke has been taken off the ventilator and, although he’s still in the hospital, he’s been moved out of intensive care (https://www.wbay.com/2021/08/21/cardinal-burke-off-ventilator-still-hospitalized-with-covid/). This information comes to us via the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe (which he founded) in La Crosse, Wisconsin.

This is very good news indeed. I have to fight off tears of sheer relief.

Please join in prayer for Cardinal Burke’s full recovery; and may the Lord our God raise up more leaders like him to defend us from the wicked and ungodly heathen who would devour us and rule the world. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
