Sources in Rome have confirmed to LifeSiteNews that Cardinal Raymond Burke, the head of the Vaticans 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 Octobers 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.

Sorry, but the catholic church IS the people who control it.
Interesting.
And for daring to speak the truth, he’s being booted out the door like yesterday’s rubbish.
One of my friends said that the only good thing about this move is that if ISIS attacks the Vatican, Raymond Cardinal Burke will not ne there.
