My Take
Cardinal Raymond Burke is one of the more polarizing figures I write about, and I find his unbending conviction genuinely fascinating. A small-town Wisconsin boy who climbed all the way to the Apostolic Signatura and the Order of Malta, he has staked his entire public life on tradition, no matter the cost. I don't have to agree with every position to respect a man who refuses to bend with the wind. As a working theologian and author still active online, he proves that conviction, agree or not, commands a certain gravity. Consistency like that is rare anywhere.
