Cardinal Burke Calls Iran "Bloodthirsty" and a "Nuclear Threat"

U.S. Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke has downplayed reports of growing tensions between the Vatican and the U.S. administration of Donald Trump.

In an interview with IlGiornale.it on April 11, he stated that “the narrative of an ongoing clash is exaggerated”. Leo XIV “has invited everyone to work for peace, as he rightly should.”

Regarding the attacks and bombings of Iran, Cardinal Burke thinks: “One may have differing views on how to address the problem, but one certainly cannot think that the situation in Iran was good prior to the attacks by the United States and Israel. I believe that, in his view, Trump also has peace as his goal - meaning he seeks to restore internal peace in Iran and in its relations with other nations. This is because the regime represents a nuclear threat to both its neighbors and others.”

He also added that he prays “for the freedom of the Iranian people, who have suffered for too many years at the hands of the ayatollahs’ regime.”

Cardinal Burke continued: “We cannot forget the many civilians killed over the years by repression. It is painful to see a great nation, with a rich cultural heritage, destroyed by such a bloodthirsty regime.”

BURKE: “The narrative of an ongoing clash is exaggerated”
DJT: "I don't like Leo and don't want him as Pope. And anyway, I put him in office....me, me, me!"

Did Trump really say that?

SonoftheChurch

Yes. His verbatim words were worse… much worse.

Someone remind Burke that America started the killing, not Iran. Iran has the right to defend itself. How many abortions in Iran last year?..how many abortions in the US last year? Who is the bloodthirsty one?

Are we seeking the good of Iran or imposing the Gay Disco and Abortion. What about getting rid of an opponent of Lebensraum for Israel.

Does the cardinal think we should destroy the whole civilization, as does the madman Trump?

Perhaps the good Cardinal should submit Dubia about it. 😐

Cardinal Burke is a MAGA/Zionist controlled operative. He doesn't seem too bright when it comes to the "Errors of Russia." I wish he would study his catechism better and stay out of politics!

Dzisiaj jest bardzo łatwo zaimplikować komus slowa, jakich on nie wypowiedzial...bez mozliwości obrony....

Jeffrey Ade

Yes, but his actions speak louder then words!

Conservatives...

Jeffrey Ade

Exactly! Fake conservatives.

It sounds to me like the consequences of the Judeo-Christian heresy.

Ivan Tomas

I thought the Cardinals didn't have a TV. Or at least they don't listen to CNN.

Burke has stopped defending the Church and the truth

Jeffrey Ade

Sad but true.

The Freemasons basically destroyed Western Civilization, and the West has seriously corrupted the rest of the world.

The good Cardinal forgets who put the first ayatollah in power. Sad, because he’s old enough to know. What values is the West going to bring to Iran? Abortion and the sexual letters of the alphabet? It’s surely not democracy. Pray for peace, justice and good will to prevail. And who put the Shah in there ….someone whose behaviour was corrupted by the West…and the people themselves wanted him out…Are people not allowed to decide for themselves or are we all slaves of the elite bankers and oil companies?…Wake up Cardinal Burke..whose whispering lies in your ears?

You nailed it.

Confused. Why it is important to recognize 9/11 and not take COVID shots.
