Fr. Kevin Drew, Catholic Exchange - (In 1935 Pope Pius XI)... wrote that, in 1936, around 6,800 priests, religious, and nuns in Spain were murdered by communists. In accordance with Marxist ideology, these communists promised that man could break his chains and live in an earthly paradise if only private property, marriage, and the family were destroyed. Communism’s archenemy then was the great defender of marriage and the family: the Church.  Beyond this example, history shows time and time again that wherever communism takes hold, the Church is brutally suppressed.

By Edward Pentin, National Catholic Register - Dutch Cardinal Willem Eijk has warmly praised Cardinal Raymond Burke for the way he has endured attacks for proclaiming the fullness of the Catholic faith, saying that his example imitates Christ’s suffering and opens the way to heaven... Preaching at a July 31 Mass to celebrate Cardinal Burke’s founding of the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in La Crosse, Wisconsin, in 2008, the cardinal archbishop of Utrecht held up the American cardinal as “an exemplary priest, an outstanding canonist, a prophet of canon law.”
