Cardinal Burke: The Family is a Little Church

In this exclusive interview, His Eminence, Raymond Cardinal Leo Burke, shares the importance of devotionals for Catholic families and explains the role they played for him in his childhood. He reminisces about his family’s devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and how they used to set up a table with flowers for Mary during the month of May. This extended faith life taught him from a young age that the family is “a little church.” He encourages families, especially young families, to create this kind of environment for their children.

That's why it's so important to preserve the family. Lord Jesus, bless Cardinal Burke and all priests.

One of the very few good Cardinals around.

I bet he never knew he would be on of the few cardinals to stand up against the three ring circus.

"Cardinal Raymond Burke is a 66-year-old guy who lives in Rome, dresses like Queen Elizabeth, and talks like someone who majored in misogyny at some bogus, backwoods, Bible-banging tent school." - Mike Barnicle. Good to see ol' Ray got slapped for running his yap. The rc church isn't a discussion group, Ray.
