Breaking: Sources confirm Cardinal Burke will be removed. But will he attend the Synod?
Life Site News ^ | 9/17/14 | John-Henry Westen

Sources in Rome have confirmed to LifeSiteNews that Cardinal Raymond Burke, the head of the Vatican’s highest court, known as the Apostolic Signatura, is to be removed from his post as head of the Vatican dicastery and given a non-curial assignment as patron of the Order of Malta.

The timing of the move is key since Cardinal Burke is currently on the list to attend October’s Extraordinary Synod on the Family. He is attending in his capacity as head of one of the dicasteries of the Roman Curia, so if he is removed prior to the Synod it could mean he would not be able to attend.

Burke has been one of the key defenders in the lead-up to the Synod of the Church's traditional practice of withholding Communion from Catholics who are divorced and civilly remarried.

Most of the Catholic world first learned of the shocking development through Vatican reporter Sandro Magister, whose post ‘Exile to Malta for Cardinal Burke’ went out late last night.

How does any priest know who he is giving Holy Communion to?
Andy Cuomo is divorced, not remarried but lives in sin, and is blatantly pro-abortion. Do they deny him?

Orthodox priests have no role in Francis’s papacy. That’s beginning to be crystal clear. Maybe he’ll be replaced by
Donna Wuerl. Live your faith and preach the truth about Catholicism and he replaced by Pope Francis.

“Catholics... is this a good guy or a bad guy?”

Awesome guy. Very orthodox, a truly committed Christian, very humble, very learned.

He’s the best we’ve got, bar none. This punitive demotion tells many of us everything we need to know about what’s going on in Rome.

“...On the question of homosexual unions, legalized by the Brazilian Supreme Court in 2011, Cardinal Damasceno Assis is quoted as saying,

“It is a decision by the Supreme [Federal Court, the highest Constitutional Court in Brazil]. Of course, for the Church, it [homosexual union] cannot be equated to marriage, that is different. But, regarding respect for the stable union between these people, there is no doubt that the Church has always [sempre] been trying to do it this way”, said Damasceno Assis

Raymundo Cardinal Damasceno Assis of Aparecida happens to be one of the three Presidents appointed by Pope Francis for the upcoming Extraordinary Synod on the Family.”

One day I think Pope Francis is okay, the next I think he has said/done something so wonderful, and the next, I think he’s “trying” to ruin the Church. Most confusing pope we’ve ever had. I wonder if Michael Voris will change his mind and start voicing opinion on the pope.

In other words, the Catholic Church no longer acts as the Catholic Church. It is run by a bunch of apostates.

I await a true pope to fix this mess.
