The two prominent cardinals, who able to vote in the upcoming conclave, became known for defending the Catholic faith against Pope Francis' many heterodox documents and initiatives. Cardinal Sarah condemned Francis' document Fiducia Supplicans, which endorsed homosexual "blessings," for proclaiming "heresy."
Cardinal Burke has similarly spoken out against homosexual "blessings," as well as Francis' support for allowing adulterers to receive Holy Communion, his approval of homosexual civil unions, and other heterodox statements of the late Jesuit pontiff.
