Father Thomas Rosica's network Salt + Light's broadcaster Alicia Ambrosio slammed Cardinal Burke as living in an "Ivory Tower."
LifeSiteNews.com reports:
"Lauding the Vatican’s Synod on the Family as “huge” change, a producer from Canada’s Catholic TV network Salt and Light, headed by CEO Fr. Thomas Rosica, has criticized outspoken champion of orthodoxy Cardinal Raymond Burke, suggesting that he is in an “ivory tower” and “sticking to the ideal” instead of ministering to people — such as homosexuals and the divorced — caught up in the “messiness of life.”
“There’s finally a realization that maybe the way we’ve been approaching things doesn’t help, or it’s not taking into account that that’s an ideal and real life is messy and we have to be able to deal with the mess, not the black and white,” said Alicia Ambrosio, producer and host of Vatican Connections on Salt and Light Television, to the host of TV Ontario’s The Agenda program last Friday evening, Oct. 17.

The Executive Producer of Salt + Light, the brains behind the outfit is Thomas Rosica, CSB, the same Rosica that was the English language media spokesman at the Synod in Rome last week. This is the same Rosica that told heretic Gregory Baum in an interview that "you have been for me and continue to be a real model of hope."
Clearly, Ambrosio was not smart enough to realise that by the interview on Friday, something changed from the disgrace of Monday which she was peddling to Ontario viewers. Was this an accident, or was it on the order of Tom Rosica?

Make no mistake friends, Tom Rosica and the rest of them are not going to go quietly in the night. They are going to work insidiously over the next year so that there heterodox view of Catholicism is enacted, not in doctrine, but in praxis. For Father Rosica, is it but a continuing journey.

As for Alicia, she is another young victim of the cesspool that employs her with your money from the pew through the Canadian Bishops.
Perhaps Tom Rosica and Alicia Ambrosio should read this story about Cardinal Burke. This is mercy that these two would just not understand.

A few years ago, I read a story on the Internet, which I can no longer find; it was written by a man that once suffered from same-sex attraction.
He wrote that he was outraged that then Bishop Burke of LaCrosse in Wisconsin would speak out firmly against sodomy. This man sent letters to the Bishop, hateful and spiteful letters. A few years later, he had a conversion to Christ and His Church. By then, Raymond Leo Burke was the Archbishop of St. Louis, in Missouri. The man that harassed him so many times sought him out in St. Louis and was surprised when the Archbishop accepted his request for a meeting. He came to the Archbishop and apologised. Archbishop Burke then went to a closet to retrieve a shoebox. Inside the shoebox were all the letters of harassment and hate that the man had sent to him. Archbishop Burke explained that he would regularly pray over the letters for the man and gave him back his letters with his blessing.
I have a personal friend that knows Cardinal Burke personally, I told him this story and his reply was, "I don't know that I've ever heard that but I believe it because that is exactly the kind of thing that Cardinal Burke would do."
