OH OH sound like Vatican bosses didn’t like outspoken this what I gather so he has been take care of

Given that Pope Benedict appointed +Raymond Burke to head the Apostolic Signatura (Church equivalent of the Supreme Court) and given that Burke has ruled that Canon Law (Canon 915) forbids pro-abort Catholic politicians to receive Holy Communion (see the text of the ruling as well as summary reported here), and given that many American bishops have either remained in silent disobedience to this ruling, or have even, like former Washington, DC Abp. McCarrick, actively and mutinously blocked this message---

I think it's safe to say that "the Vatican" (meaning the Pope and his chief canonist) support Martino's outspoken fidelity ---

And also safe to say that there are those in the USCCB, and in Martino's own Diocese, who forcefully oppose him and incessantly undermine his authority.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Household of the Faith includes ---I am choosing my word carefully here ----traitors.

We need to pray, and pray hard, for strength and grace for Bishop Martino and the remnant of faithful pastors.
