The inclusion of Archbishop Raymond Burke among the 24 Catholic bishops named to enter the College of Cardinals in a Vatican consistory on November 20, is cause for celebration in the pro-life and pro-family movements. This man understands the gravity of the Culture of Death and speaks and acts on that understanding like very few other religious leaders in the world.   For LifeSiteNews and others who have been the brunt of harsh, defamatory attacks from clergy and Catholic Church bureaucrats for simply reporting the truth about disturbing situations needing correction, Archbishop Burke has been a champion. We note especially the following statements by Burke in his recent talk at the Rome HLI conference attended by LifeSiteNews: "One of the ironies of the present situation is that the person who experiences scandal at the gravely sinful public actions of a fellow Catholic is accused of a lack of charity and of causing division within the unity of the Church," he said.  "One sees the hand of the Father of Lies at work in the disregard for the situation of scandal or in the ridicule and even censure of those who experience scandal." "Lying or failing to tell the truth, however, is never a sign of charity.  A unity which is not founded on the truth of the moral law is not the unity of the! Church.  The Church's unity is founded on speaking the truth with love.  The person who experiences scandal at public actions of Catholics, which are gravely contrary to the moral law, not only does not destroy unity but invites the Church to repair what is clearly a serious breach in Her life.  Were he not to experience scandal at the public support of attacks on human life and the family, his conscience would be uninformed or dulled about the most sacred realities." That has also always been the understanding of LifeSiteNews. Thank you Archbishop Burke! And congratulations!
