One of my favorite Bishops.In an address to InsideCatholic.com's 14th Annual Partnership Dinner Friday evening, Archbishop Raymond Burke, Prefect of the Vatican's Apostolic Signatura, said that funeral rites should not be given to pro-abortion Catholic politicians. He also defended the duty of Catholics to speak in charity against the scandal caused by such figures.
"To deny these is not a judgment of the soul, but a recognition of the scandal and its effects," he said.
The archbishop said that, while "we must speak the truth in charity," Catholics also "should have the courage to look truth in the eye and call things by their common names."
"It is not possible to be a practicing Catholic and to conduct oneself in this manner," he told the crowd of about 200 guests.

Well said Bishop.
Thank you so much for this enlightening bit of information. I am so proud of Burke. He's right. What's the point of having these principles if you are not going to stand fervently for them? Now, I have a rantings and ravings blog in which I am planning to touch on this exact subject. God Bless!
God bless you too!
