Pope Francis Punishes Conservative Cardinal—the Second Action Taken Against Outspoken Critics in the US
Pope Francis took action against one of his biggest critics. This is the second time this month that Pope Francis has punished an American prelate.
Pope Francis punished Cardinal Raymond Burke, a 75-year-old canon lawyer from Wisconsin. Francis revoked Burke’s salary and his subsidized Vatican apartment.
Burke, like other cardinals in Rome, lived in his apartment for free and received a monthly stipend of about $5,500.
During a meeting on Nov. 20, Pope Francis informed the heads of Vatican offices that he was taking action against Burke because he was a source of “disunity” in the church, according to an anonymous participant.
Another unnamed source said Francis punished Burke because he was using the privileges against the church. (Read more from “Pope Francis Punishes Conservative Cardinal—the Second Action Taken Against Outspoken Critics in the US” HERE)
