U.S. Catholic Cardinal Favors Restricting 'Large-Scale' Immigration Of Muslims [View all]

A prominent Roman Catholic cardinal is claiming that it’s perfectly moral for Catholics to protest “large-scale” Muslim immigration to the United States.

Cardinal Raymond L. Burke, a staunch Catholic traditionalist and one of Pope Francis’ leading critics, said restricting Muslim immigration is a patriotic and “responsible” stance.

Church doctrine is clear that Catholics must help “individuals that are not able to find a way of living in their own country,” the cardinal said during a conference in Rome on May 17. But the church doesn’t have that same obligation toward immigrants who are “opportunists” ― particularly, Muslims, he said.

Islam “by definition believes itself to be destined to rule the world,” Burke said.


Ladies and gentlemen, the Catechism of the Catholic Church:

"This is the sole Church of Christ, which in the Creed we profess to be one, holy, catholic and apostolic."
