    Yes, I heard 'Pope Francis' is kicking Cardinal Burke out of the flat that the holy Cardinal lives in. 'Pope Francis' is also taking away the Cardinal's income. This is all happening for no good reason, simply because 'Pope Francis' sees Cardinal Burke as his "enemy".
    The humble, friendly and very measured Cardinal Burke has always said that he is nobody's enemy. He did question the attacks 'Pope Francis' undertook on the sacraments of marriage (Amoris Laetitia) and the eucharist (Traditiones Custodes), but this is of course his duty as a Cardinal.
    I had the honour of meeting His Eminence Cardinal Burke in Auckland a few years ago. He blessed my marriage, which I will always remember with gratitude.

    How cool that you met him and he blessed your marriage! He is a humble man of God for sure.

    Yes, I feel very blessed. Cardinal Burke is a wonderful prelate - humble, kind, intelligent, holy. He would make a great Supreme Pontiff, I think, just like Cardinal Sarah, or Cardinal Mueller!

    Pope Francis removed Bishop Strickland, a critic of the Pope, as head of the Diocese of Tyler in East Texas almost four weeks ago, on Nov. 11.

    Retired Bishop Joseph Strickland has been advised to leave his former Diocese of Tyler, Texas, but has not been told he can’t say Mass publicly there, he told the Register.

    “I have received no such instruction,” Bishop Strickland said by text Thursday night, responding to a report that he has been barred from saying Mass in the diocese.

    I’m sure it was a bit tongue in cheek, but his answer that “I’m still alive” is a bit revealing. To come out of a meeting with the Vicar of Christ and that being how you describe it is imo sad
