Britain's New PM Andy Burnham Is Non Catholic Catholic

British Catholic Prime Minister Andy Burnham is "a non-Catholic Catholic kind of guy", UK-based writer Steven Tucker argues on August 7 on CrisisMagazine.com. Burnham has absorbed a specifically left-wing, Liverpool strain of Catholic Social Teaching that is socialism in disguise. Main points:

Archbishop Derek Worlock (1920–1996) of Liverpool had a significant influence on Burnham during his youth. As an altar boy, Burnham played tapes of Worlock's sermons in which he criticised the central government for neglecting the North West.

Burnham considered the "vast majority" of staff at his Catholic schools to be Labour supporters who encouraged him in that direction. In 2012, Burnham said that "what I used to read in the catechism - the realisation of it on Earth - was the Labour Party'.

He has campaigned, voted and marched for homosex "marriage", homosex adoption and gender policies. He has even supported male access to women's facilities.

While mayor of Manchester, he took part in a city-centre march in the company of a giant rainbow placard reading 'QUEER KIDS DESERVE SAFE SCHOOLS'.

During his Labour leadership campaign in 2015, he urged Pope Francis to support homosex "marriage" and bring the Church "into the 21st century". He believes the Church is out of touch on homosex rights and has described himself as a "gay rights, feminist, football-loving Catholic kind of guy".
