Catholic Cardinal Blames Radical Feminists for Pedophilia
The former archbishop of St. Louis, who was the highest-ranking American Cardinal during Pope Benedict’s tenure, has come out blaming the problems of the modern church on men who are “feminized” and on “radical feminism” that pushes men away. Cardinal Raymond Burke was interviewed last week by The New eMANgelization Project, which claims there is a “man crisis” in the Catholic church. In the interview, Cardinal Burke said he believes that “the radical feminism which has assaulted the Church and society since the 1960s has left men very marginalized.” Cardinal Burke didn’t stop at blaming women’s rights, though. He also made sure to include blaming sexual identity and gender expression for the widespread sexual abuse of minors.
“There was a period of time when men who were feminized and confused about their own sexual identity had entered the priesthood,” Burke said. “Sadly some of these disordered men sexually abused minors - a terrible tragedy for which the Church mourns.”
According to the Survivor’s Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP), Raymond Burke as Archbishop of the St. Louis diocese was a prelate who covered up for abusing clergy. SNAP is the largest non-profit supporter of survivors of clergy sexual abuse. In September 2014, SNAP found that while in St. Louis, “Burke was often reckless, deceptive and callous regarding predator priests, vulnerable kids and wounded victims. He expanded the troubling practice of importing sexually troubled priests from across the US, letting some of them work in local parishes and letting others stay in church facilities that are secretive and careless about public safety.”

Burke went on to talk about men in society as a whole, declaring that young men are scared away from marriage “because of a constant and insistent demanding of rights for women.” He then insisted that more men and boys are shying away from the Church because more women and girls are involved, and thus “the activities in the parish and even the liturgy have been influenced by women and become so feminine in many places that men do not want to get involved.”
