During the global pandemic, Cardinal Raymond L. Burke spoke out against vaccine mandates, claiming the practice 'violates the integrity of its citizens.'

"Doctors are encouraged by his progress," Burke's press team tweeted Saturday night. "[His Eminence] faithfully prayed the Rosary for those suffering from the virus. . . . Let us now pray the Rosary for him."A former archbishop of St. Louis, Burke made a name for himself as an outspoken conservative figure in the mid-2000s. In 2004, he refused to give Communion to then-Massachusetts Sen. John F. Kerry because the Democrat was pro-choice.

"While the state can provide reasonable regulations for the safeguarding of health, it is not the ultimate provider of health. God is," he said during a May 2020 address.Burke also repeated false information about vaccines, claiming that some believe there should be a "microchip . . . placed under the skin of every person, so that at any moment he or she can be controlled by the state regarding health and about other matters which we can only imagine.

In an interview that same month with Vida Nueva, a Spanish Catholic publication, Burke questioned Francis's leadership. Burke continued to speak out on controversial topics. In 2015, he criticized the modernization of the church and said he feared that the church was becoming too feminine. He said men had been alienated by decisions to let women take part in ceremonial activities, such as the move to allow female altar assistants starting in 1983.

"If you are living publicly in a state of mortal sin there isn't any good act that you can perform that justifies that situation: the person remains in grave sin," he continued.
