Summary
Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke, Patrono emerito del Sovrano Militare Ordine di Malta, addressed concerns about attacks on life during an interview published exclusively by Vaticanist Michael Haynes on Per Mariam. Highlighting widespread contraceptive use and abortion practices, Cardinal Burke emphasized the connection between these attacks on family and their detrimental impact on the Church. He described recent statements from Pope Leo XIV to diplomats, where he condemned abortion, surrogacy, and euthanasia harshly. The Pope’s message at the March for Life in Washington D.C. reinforced his stance against abortion. In response, Cardinal Burke advocated for strong promotion of Catholic teachings regarding life issues, including supporting or founding medical institutions that comply with Church morals to counteract cultural tendencies towards anti-life activism.
