ROME – Raymond Cardinal Burke’s book Hope for the World was published months before Donald Trump won the presidency. In that book, Burke condemned the anti-life and anti-family policies of the Obama administration.
Asked by The Wanderer if he sees more hope with the present administration, Burke replied, “I do,” pointing to “the fact that the president spoke live to the March for Life” and to his appointments of judges who “seem to have a solid commitment to the moral law.”
Cardinal Burke also sees Trump’s efforts to improve the economy and help create jobs as pro-family initiatives.
Additionally, Trump “seems very sensitive to the concerns of Christians.”
“There’s no question, character-wise, he’s an original person,” said Burke. But all the same, we should recognize and encourage the good he’s doing.
Also, he said, we should “pray for good politicians.” Burke encourages solid young Catholics to enter the political field.
