A Good Cardinal Reaching Out to the Homosexual Who Wants to Repent

I do not like joining in with this obsession of homosexualism that pervades the internet, Catholic sites included. Catholics are dying for the Faith in the mid-east and Africa and China losing their Faith in the west and all the headlines are dominated by the latest “gay” this “gay” that. Nevertheless, this account I provide from LifeSite News about Cardinal Burke’s pastoral care for a young man with homosexual proclivities is quite inspiring. A true shepherd in action. Definitely worth sharing with anyone who is struggling with this disorder and who is ill at ease with the state of his soul.

LifeSiteNews: Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke emerged from the recent, tempestuous Extraordinary Synod on the Family as a champion of orthodox Catholic sexual morality just as Pope Francis has removed him from the Church’s most senior canon law posting.

However, if you sit across the Church leadership’s widening cultural gap from the former archbishop of St. Louis, as Alicia Ambrosio, producer and host of Vatican Connections on Canada’s Salt and Light Television, evidently does, you see him as stuck in “an ivory tower” cut off from “the messiness of life” that homosexual Catholics contend with.
