Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke has long been a hate figure for mainstream media, but the levels of depravity that they have stooped to this week are beyond the realms of basic human decency. In a week where the ascent to power of the Taliban has been seen as a victory for barbarity, one has to wonder if even the Taliban would behave like those Western journalists who are taunting Cardinal Burke and spreading lies about him as he lies on a ventilator, fighting for his life.
In a video for CNN, ‘journalist’ Polo Sandoval reported ‘conservative Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke, American Cardinal Prelate of the Roman Catholic Church, who spread misinformation about coronavirus vaccines before being hospitalized himself and put on a ventilator’. The nasty and dishonest piece slanders the ill Cardinal Burke by saying, ‘He helped fuel baseless conspiracy theories about the vaccine and spread misinformation about coronavirus’. Polo then criticised Burke for calling Coronavirus ‘The Wuhan Virus’, in apparent outrage that at the suggestion that ‘China was to blame for the outbreak’. The bottom of the screen repeatedly mocked Burke during the video, stating ‘Vaccine skeptic Cardinal now on ventilator: pray for me’. Another message at the bottom of the screen claimed that Burke had implied that Covid vaccines would lead to people being micro chipped.
Burke said no such thing. CNN are spreading misinformation. The cardinal stated that some people want the latter, in accordance with a China like social credit system. In 1999, Polo’s employer were platforming those who wanted to plant microchips under people’s skin.

Other outlets followed their lead. In a poorly written article at The Daily Beast, with the gleeful subheading ‘Divine Intervention’, Barbara Latza Nadeau claimed that:
The 73-year-old cardinal has shown himself to be a COVID-19 denier, publicly scoffing at Italy’s strict lockdown measures during the height of the pandemic and was even seen strolling around Rome mask-free even when face coverings were mandated outside
One Twitter user quickly pointed out that this was patently false.
Nadeau previously spread an incredibly insane conspiracy theory which claimed that Cardinal Burke was working with Matteo Salvini and Steve Bannon to ‘take down’ Pope Francis. Steve Bannon, Cardinal Burke, Minister Salvini, and the Plot to Take Down Pope Francis (thedailybeast.com)
There are many more articles on this topic, many of them by those who falsely conflate Cardinal Burke’s warnings of technocracy with being a ‘vaccine skeptic’, but once you have come across those two you have read them all.
Cardinal Burke was not, as these outlets claim, a ‘vaccine skeptic’.
You can hear him in the video below, correctly pointing out that ‘certain forces’ who hate family and nations have used the current crisis to ‘advance their evil agenda’.
In the full video from which that extract comes, Cardinal Burke criticises Marxist materialism and the media.
The latest news regarding Cardinal Burke’s illness is not good, with reports of him now having been placed in an artificial coma. One American celebrated, stating that he hopes that Cardinal Burke ‘enjoys his coma’ before falsely claiming that Cardinal Burke had ‘badmouthed the vaccine’.
Meanwhile, as American liberals wax lyrical about the Taliban, perhaps they should look closer to home for savagery, as they taunt and slander a man when he is at his weakest, all because he dared to criticise the mainstream media and make them reflect on their own lives.
Our Lord did warn us that they would hate us as they hated Him.
