Some photos of Cdl. Burke at KC conference on end-of-life care

At a Kansas City conference on end-of-life care, Cardinal Raymond Burke said that suffering does not cause a person to have less meaning in his life, nor does it give the government the right to decide if that person should live or die.

“No matter how much a life is diminished, no matter what suffering the person is undergoing, that life demands the greatest respect and care,” Cardinal Burke, prefect of the Apostolic Signatura, told CNA.

“It's never right to snuff out a life because it's in some way under heavy burden.”

Cardinal Burke spoke July 23 to a packed auditorium of over 350 people at the Archdiocese of Kansas City, Kan. on the “mystery” of human suffering and dying for his keynote address at the “Being Faithful, Even Unto Death” conference.

A reader sent me these photos from the conference.  The woman with the Cardinal is St. Gianna's daughter; Dr. Gianna Emanuela Molla.






Cardinal Burke will be in La Crosse this weekend, at the Queen of America's Guild conference at the Shrine and at the La Crosse Diocese catechetical conference.
