Isn't it ironic for a member of the Catholic clergy to imply the Irish public are "worse than pagans"?
This comment came about shortly after the Irish public voted in marriage equality in 2015.
Cardinal Burke was speaking to Oxford University’s Catholic Society, where he stated:
“I mean, this is a defiance of God. It’s just incredible. Pagans may have tolerated homosexual behaviours, they never dared to say this was marriage.”
Christianity as we know it, would be nothing without paganism. Since many aspects and practices contained in many of Christian religions are based on paganism. Such hypocrisy is off the scale. Clearly its not enough for the Catholic Church to be anti gay; they also have to be anti-pagan too?
What is your take on this double negative arrogance?
