Cdl. Burke: ‘Christian nations’ in West must counter Islamic influx.

U.S. Cardinal Raymond Burke says Islam “wants to govern the world” “the Christian origin of our own nation” in order to avoid that fate.

Speaking to RNS, Burke said
“But my point is this: When they become a majority in any country then they have the religious obligation to govern that country. If that’s what the citizens of a nation want, well, then, they should just allow this to go on. But if that’s not what they want, then they have to find a way to deal with it.”
He said that in some cities in France and Belgium with large Muslim populations “there are little Muslim states” that are effectively “no-go zones” for government authorities – an assertion that is widely disputed.
But Burke claimed “these things aren’t anomalies for Islam. This is the way things are to go. … And if you do understand that and you are not at peace with the idea of being forcibly under an Islamic government, then you have reason to be afraid.”
He cited historical examples of famous military clashes between Muslim forces and the forces of Christian nations of Europe, such the Battle of Lepanto in 1571 and the Battle of Vienna in 1683, both of which marked defeats for the Ottoman Empire.
“These historical events relate directly with the situation of today. There’s no question that Islam wants to govern the world,” Burke said.

I'd like to add if you didn't have post VII popes promoting unity with Muslims via ecumenical prayer meetings then Roman Catholics would have more of a backbone.

Father George Rutler the pastor of St. Michael’s church in Hell’s Kitchen, New York City“The defence of the common good requires that an unjust aggressor be rendered unable to cause harm. For this reason, those who legitimately hold authority also have the right to use arms to repel aggressors against the civil community entrusted to their responsibility.”

In previous centuries, Fr. Rutler, says, this would not have been controversial.

1601, Saint Lawrence of Brindisi did the same in defense of Hungary. As Franciscans, they carried no sword and charged on horseback into battle carrying a crucifix. They inspired the shrewd generals and soldiers, whom they had assembled through artful diplomacy, with their brave innocence.

“This is not obscure trivia: Were it not for Charles Martel at Tours in 732 and Jan Sobieskiat the gates of Vienna in 1683 — and most certainly had Pope Saint Pius V not enlistedAndrea Doria and Don Juan at Lepanto in 1571 — we would not be here now. No Western nations as we know them — no universities, no modern science, no human rights — would exist.”

The tragedy of our times, Fr. Rutler argues, is that the West has grown complacent, and in doing so has lost touch with its Christian roots.

Diarmuid Martin is against Cardinal Burke's comments on Islam.
Our Lady Akita warn us: “The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against other bishops. The priests who venerate Me will be scorned and opposed by their confreres (other priests). Churches and altars will be sacked. The Church will be full of those …More
