The media say it is because Burke is anti-gay. Throughout his life Cardinal Burke has shown kindness and support to homosexuals.
They say it is because he is a critic of Pope Francis. I am not aware of Cardinal Burke attacking Pope Francis. He has spoken out courageously in support of the Catholic faith. One article said Cardinal Burke angered Pope Francis by dressing up like a Christmas tree at Latin masses. This is dishonest and bigoted.
There is one thing that all of Cardinal Burke's critics and detractors have in common. They hate faithful Catholics and they hate those who raise their families in the Catholic faith.
RE: There has never been a single reason given by the Vatican for Cardinal Burke’s demotion.
Too much of an annoying gadfly is my guess.
“There is one thing that all of Cardinal Burke’s critics and detractors have in common. They hate faithful Catholics and they hate those who raise their families in the Catholic faith”.
And that includes Francis, who could care less about Catholic doctrine, and has told many protestants there is no need to convert. He also could care less if pro-aborts and those shacking up receive Holy Communion. In Argentina communion for those openly spitting in the face of the church was a common occurrence.
