This reads like the rantings of a lunatic, and a poor writer, at that.

Cardinal Burke is a great and holy man, and should be a model for all priests. However, the religious life isn’t about politics, nor is it about careerism.

Some of the greatest saints have been door holders, children, and shepherds. Saints are also obedient (Padre Pio).

While Cardinal Burke has been called the Athanasius of our day, I sincerely doubt his reassignment is the big deal people are making it out to be.

There is so much bluster signifying nothing. Has any doctrine or dogma been changed? Nope. The only change in the Universal Church has been the addition of St. Joseph in the Eucharistic Prayer.

Please, will all those crying “End Times!” please take hope. We have the promise of Our Lord the gates of Hell will not prevail. Let not your hearts be troubled. If you are worried, then pray. Pray for all priests and bishops, as you did at Mass today.

Not an atypical statement from the Francis worshippers: if you don't like the message, personally attack the messenger.

Kasper did it to the African bishops as Francis does it to traditionalists. Welcome to their club.

Not a big deal at all when a Pope behaves like a vindictive and mean-spirited tyrant and banishes a faithful and holy servant of God while elevating porno-peddlers such as Cdls. Kasper and Marx to his innermost circle. We should all emulate this Christ-like example.
