Psychiatric reasons??? Is he insinuating that solitude would drive him crazy? Wonder what the Desert Fathers would say to that pathetic excuse?
I have thought often of the Conclave and how someone reported seeing Cardinal Burke looking worried and praying his Rosary during the time before they were locked in.
The last 6 months have shown us why. I still pray for Cardinal Burke every day. As the Apostolic Signatura, he must have a GINORMOUS burden on his shoulders!
Last week, one of the most liberal priests in this diocese was going around gloating because he had heard Pope Francis was removing Cardinal Burke soon. Lord help us if true.
