“You are wrong, author seems to be good Catholic worried about more and more church’s clergyman becoming liberal protestants.”

There is no danger of civil war among Catholics. Most faithful Catholics would never wish any harm on their fellow Catholics. The people in parishes are the ones who make the church work. They are the ones who keep it going. None of them even talk about this kind of thing.

The article also unfairly attacked Cardinal Burke. From the article:

“Pope Francis intends to sack Burke, whose habit of dressing up like a Christmas tree at Latin Masses infuriates him.”

Cardinal Burke has never dressed up like a Christmas tree at mass. That comment is just ignorant and bigoted.

The article portrays what I consider the poor decisions of Pope Francis at the recent Synod as the beginning of a “civil war”. This is totally untrue. The Bishops and Cardinals were united and supported and endorsed church teaching.

There is no “civil war”. To say that there is shows ignorance about Catholics.

I think "civil war" is just a metaphor. While people in parishes also have different views. Believes of many are far from Catholic teachings. They are looking for an excuse for their sins and are glad to see liberal theologians saying that some things are not sins anymore.

About cardinal Burke I agree, this comment wasn't fair. Although pope Francis isn't a fan of cardianl Burke for sure. Sadly I suspect that he has more in common with those liberals...

Bishops and cardinals were not united at all, almost 2/3 voted in favor of changes. They needed more than 2/3, so they lost...
