Ask Cardinal Burke Your Questions!

Dear Friend,

With families struggling, the world in turmoil and on the eve of the November 5 presidential election, the timing to hear from our shepherd, Cardinal Burke couldn’t come at a better time! Straight answers to straight questions - the voice of Cardinal Burke provides the clarity and guidance the faithful need. 

Jesus reminds us to “Say ‘Yes’ when you mean ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ when you mean ‘No”. All else is from the Evil One” (Mt 5:37). That certainly is the virtue of His Eminence—who also speaks with great charity. A rare gift!

Exacerbating matters, we are all witnessing great confusion in our world regarding the Church’s teachings on marriage and gender identity. Some of this error has even penetrated, to some degree, the institution of the Church. In addition to leading people away from the true teachings, these errors threaten to cause grave harm to souls, and in the process, undermine the mission of the Church’s evangelization.

Many witness this sad state of affairs and, in desperation, search for answers to better understand the crisis before them.

I want to assure you that we should not fear our current circumstances. Rather, we should be very grateful that we can follow His Eminence, Cardinal Burke, who does not back down in addressing the confusion in the Church during his homilies. Here is a good example of what I mean. He says: 

“At a time of great confusion, regarding the moral teaching of the Church”, St. Alphonsus held steadfastly to the word of Christ, as it is handed down to us in the Church. He understood the meaning of the word of Christ, in the Sermon on the Mount: “Do not think that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets, I have come not to abolish them but to fulfill them, for truly I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the law, until all is accomplished.”  And “Whoever then relaxes the least of these Commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven but he who does them and teaches them, shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.” (Matthew 5: 17-18,19) 

Then His Eminence added: 

“In fact, as the Gospel makes clear, Our Lord condemned those who would fail in their duty to obey the law and to teach it to others.”

Cardinal Burke is not only a canon lawyer but an authoritative member of the Church’s hierarchy, filled with the gifts of the Holy Spirit - especially, wisdom and knowledge. With a sound and sharp legal mind, His Eminence can answer questions definitively on Church related topics, the Sacraments, as well as pastoral and spiritual topics.

Therefore, I would like to invite you to submit questions you might have regarding important issues in your life and the role of the Catholic Church in the modern world. Please take advantage of this notice to submit your questions to Cardinal Burke. 

We at Catholic Action for Faith and Family are poised to continue our engagement in Church issues now and throughout the 2025 Jubilee Year. We do this amid a world floundering in a profound decline in moral values. 

Once upon a time the Christian ideal and its hallowed name of Christendom dominated both peasants and nobility throughout the Middle Ages—and for good reason; when the gospel ruled the land, societies flourished. 

Quite frequently, His Eminence will address questions presented to him from our membership with a perspective of deep faith, sound reasoning and Gospel directness and charity to help the faithful gain a better understanding of the essential moral and spiritual challenges of today. 

As the world continues its descent into moral anarchy and our Church continues to face a crisis in teaching of the Church’s doctrine and discipline, Cardinal Burke will not be silent. Nor will Catholic Action!
