In a statement today, Cardinal Raymond Burke issued a correction to a now-removed LifeSiteNews article, which claimed that Burke was collaborating with former President Donald Trump advisor Stephen Bannon on a film exposing homosexuality in the Vatican.
The film in question will be based off a book on the same subject by Frédéric Martel, entitled "In the Closet of the Vatican."
"LifeSiteNews made no contact with me to verify my possible involvement," Burke said in his June 25 statement. "Given the overall content of the article and given several statements made by Mr. Bannon in the article, I must make the following clear: I do not, in any way, agree with Mr. Bannon's assessment of the book in question."
"Furthermore, I am not at all of the mind that the book should be made into a film," Burke added. "I disagree completely with a number of Mr. Bannon's statements regarding the doctrine and discipline of the Roman Catholic Church."
