(RNS) Amid heightened tensions over ISIS-fueled terror attacks and anti-Muslim rhetoric, a prominent U.S. cardinal says Islam “wants to govern the world” and Americans must decide if they are going to reassert “the Christian origin of our own nation” in order to avoid that fate.

Cardinal Raymond Burke, a Rome-based prelate known as an outspoken conservative and critic of Pope Francis’ reformist approach, said in an interview on Wednesday (July 20) that Islam is “fundamentally a form of government.”

While Catholic teaching recognizes that all Abrahamic faiths worship the same God, Burke criticized Catholic leaders who, in an effort to be tolerant, have a tendency “to simply think that Islam is a religion like the Catholic faith or the Jewish faith.”

“That simply is not objectively the case,” he said.

So, who are Catholics to listen to, the Cardinal or the Pope?

"So, who are Catholics to listen to, the Cardinal or the Pope?"

That's a decision each will have to make on his or her own.

I certainly wouldn't listen to this ridiculous excuse for a "Pope".
Any more than I would "listen to" the ridiculous excuse we have here for a president...

You tell me.  You've seen Pope Francis.  Here's Raymond Burke:

This is my image of a true servant of the Church. Blase Cupich, archbishop of Chicago, who will be a Cardinal in the next consistory:
