The prefect of the Vatican’s supreme tribunal, the Apostolic Signatura, says a “false sense of dialogue” has led to “grave scandal” on many Catholic college campuses in the United States.
Cardinal Raymond Burke, said it is impossible to reconcile the Catholic identity of a Catholic college with decisions to honour political figures who have taken positions in support of abortion rights and same-sex marriage.
“You cannot reconcile it — it is a contradiction, it is wrong, it is a scandal, and it must stop!” Cardinal Burke said.
