Demoted Catholic cardinal: Radical feminists are to blame for pedophile priests
A controversial conservative Catholic cardinal said in an interview that the forces of radical feminism have brought the once-mighty church to its knees, led to a fluffy, feminized view of sexuality and made way for generations of pedophile priests.
Cardinal Raymond Burke said in an interview with website The New Emangelism: Drawing Men to Jesus Christ and His Catholic Church that the church needs to return to its male-centered roots and stop catering to womens issues in order to regain its once robust standing in the world.
Burke is the former St. Louis Cardinal who headed the Vaticans highest court until a recent run-in with Pope Francis saw him demoted to a ceremonial position far from the churchs seat of power.

Young boys dont want to do things with girls. Its just natural, he said. The girls were also very good at altar service. So many boys drifted away over time. I want to emphasize that the practice of having exclusively boys as altar servers has nothing to do with inequality of women in the Church.

Burke was Cardinal of St. Louis from 2003 to 2008, a period during which he imported predator priests into his diocese from other areas in order to shield them from investigation. According to the clergy sex-abuse survivor advocacy group SNAP (Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests), Burke was reckless, deceptive and callous regarding predator priests, vulnerable kids and wounded victims during his tenure.

(12,157 posts)You may be thinking of Cardinal Bernard Law of Boston. He got moved out of the U.S. and into a diplomatic post at the Vatican which gives him immunity. I think he is retired and living in Vatican City so while he can't do more harm he can't be touched.
