Pope’s, some more than others, sometimes do have thin skins, and it seems some of Cardinal Burke’s public stances could be taken as criticism of Pope Francis and thus the demotion. Is it because he is a Traditionalist or Leans Traditionalist. Cardinal Pell, also a “Ratzinger protégé” has not been demoted and a protégé of Cardinal Pell was just appointed as Archbishop of Sydney Australia, which usually is a Diocese that gets a Red Hat.

One gets that any of Pope Benedict’s appointees who publicly criticized, or perceived to have publicly criticized Pope Francis are getting re-assigned, some back as Bishops, which happened in Madrid last month [not a bad thing having a Benedict appointee as Bishop of Madrid] and in the case of Cardinal Burke, it appears, to the Catholic “outer limits”.

Dear CTrent1566,

“Pope’s, some more than others, sometimes do have thin skins,...”

Oh, dear! But Pope Franky told us that he is a humble man! How can this be if he is a humble man!

Whatever the reason, it appears that Franky has harmed the Church in demoting Cardinal Burke, especially as the synod on the family is about to start.

I'm unimpressed.

FWIW I think you've hit the nail on the head. IMO the demotion has nothing to do with his traditionalist beliefs, and everything to do with a (perceived) lack of respect for the papal office.

Take a look at these authors.
