Speaking in an interview with the Irish State broadcaster, Raidió Teilifís Éireann today, Cardinal Burke re-iterated that he would refuse Holy Communion to any Catholic legislator who voted for same-sex marriage.
The people of Ireland will vote in a referendum on the subject in May 2015.
He has also reiterated his call for clarity from the Holy Father as to where the Catholic Church stands on homosexual relations and on giving Holy Communion to divorced and civilly remarried couples.
Cardinal Burke told RTÉ News there is growing confusion about what the Church really teaches and that the impression is being given that it is a democracy in which a second synod of bishops will vote on these matters next year.
Cardinal Burke, who is now the Cardinal Patron of the Order of Malta, said neither Catholic doctrine nor discipline is decided by the votes of bishops.
