U.S. Cardinal Burke: To Oppose ‘Large-Scale Muslim Immigration’ is Patriotic By Michael W. Chapman for CNS News
GNN Note – Cardinal Burke will probably lose his protection provided by the catholic mafia for saying such things.

In contrast to the largely open border views of Pope Francis and other liberals at the Vatican, U.S. Cardinal Raymond Burke said that resisting large-scale Muslim immigration “is the responsible exercise of one’s patriotism,” and added that you do not have to be a “rocket scientist” to know that many Muslims immigrate because they are “opportunists.” After all, said Cardinal Burke, Islam “by its definition believes itself to be destined to rule the world.”

Cardinal Burke, the former archbishop of St. Louis and former chief judge at the Vatican’s highest court, made his remarks at the Roman Life Forum, held in Rome, Italy, May 16-17.
At the forum, an audience member submitted the question, “Should a politician who opposes large-scale Muslim immigration be refused a papal blessing?”
Card. Burke replied, “I think the fundamental question here is [whether] someone who resists large-scale Muslim immigration [is] committing an immoral act and therefore should be, let’s say, denied Holy Communion or in some way recognized as a public sinner?”
“To resist large-scale Muslim immigration, in my judgment,” said the cardinal, “is to be responsible in the sense of making sure that those who are immigrating to the country — remember that the definition of the Church’s teaching is that the individuals are not able to find a way of living in their own country and this is not true of immigrants who come who are opportunists, and in particular in the case of Islam, which by its definition believes itself to be destined to rule the world — coming in large numbers to countries.”
“You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to see what’s happened,” he said.
