Albert von Boeselager, who was forced to resign as chancellor of the Knights of Malta but reinstated by Pope Francis, has blamed American conservatives for the turmoil in the order.
Von Boeselager said that conservatives, unhappy with the Popes public statements on economic affairs, have provoked conflicts at the Vatican. There is, for instance, a very powerful, ultra-conservative movement in the US which has links to the Evangelical Churches and to conservative economists, behind which there is a great deal of money, he said.
Von Boeselager linked Cardinal Raymond Burke to the alleged enemies of the Pope, charged that the American cardinal, by rebuking him for his involvement in a condom-distribution scheme, is not only slandering me but is also indirectly attacking the Holy Father for protecting someone who distributes condoms. He observed that Cardinal Burke has recently reiterated that any Catholic official who is involved in distributing condoms should resign.

This guy is even worse than I thought.
The blaming, whining liberals. The whole planet is infested.
Hey, Al. Every libtard dork wants a shot at American
conservatives. Get in line, dipshit.
Seems like the proverbial “smoke of Satan” is increasing in volume and concentration.
Yes, God wants us to rob the rich and give it to the government where only 10% makes it to the poor, yep, I read that in my bible every time I open it.
Mighty Catholic, non-catholics might not find it in the text because you have to be under the influence of sacramental wine to see it in the text.
Jeez! Tin foil hats for all! Cardinal Burke is a true sincere Christian and very humble. Next they will accuse him of eating Russian dressing on his salad.
After being forcefully reinstated to his position by his benefactor, Francis; Albert von Boeselager, the condom-distributor, is pulling no punches in attacking all things Catholic.
Sure they are..... Nobody can blame this turd-world, communist, sh*t-stick of a Pope.
This would be passable as satire. The church is distributing condoms now?
Look in the mirror. You are the problem.
And likewise (according to Francis), "Climate change is also contributing to the heart-rending refugee crisis". These guys are such shameless liars. Laugh at them.
He certainly doesn’t seem contrite about distribution of condoms in violation of Church teaching.
Fake title. This is about “ultra” conservatives.
Well, he certainly looked Maltese to me. That’s a Maltese cape if I’ve ever seen one. You can tell by the part that reads “Holiday Inn”.
