Nope, he didn't say that. The Cardinal never uttered that sentence. It's the invention of the author of this despicable garbage. Where do the quotes begin? The Cardinal was speaking at the presentation to the press of the Pope's new book "The Infancy Narratives" which deals with the early part of Jesus' life. He gave a lengthy discourse - you can read it in Italian here where he says "....In this initial space, however, already are projected shadows and highlights later: Herod’s persecution by the massacre of innocents is reverberated by the blood of the cross, the whole of Jerusalem is shocked by the news of the birth of the child, as it will in the supreme act of the final rejection, the three days spent by Jesus in the temple seem to indicate the three days of the tomb, and the art of icons of Novgorod ...

So note that the entire sentence, context etc. are made-up, like the rest of the article. So, yes, that quote is manufactured by anti-Christians.

I don’t know whether this is the source or not, but it attributes the same statement to the Cardinal without making any additional point.

So it seems, according to what appears to be another unrelated source that the statement was made.

Do you wish to still argue that the Cardinal did not make the statement?

This is an important point.
