From one of the comments on the piece:

I am an Italian, born and raised in Bari. I now live in the United States. I am also a devout Roman Catholic. This writer is well known in Italy and Europe for her anti-Catholic views and interests. She is also a first rate liar. The Post should be embarrassed to publish this anti-Catholic bigot.

"As the Italian press first revealed, Burke held a long meeting last week at his Vatican home with Salvini, a fierce critic of the pope who wants to push refugees back into the sea and close all mosques in Italy." Never happened. Not true. A lie.

Dignitatis Humanae has always been split between reform and conservative Catholic scholarship. This is nothing new. The Church encourages open and transparent debate on Church teachings, values, and interests.

Cardinal Burke is one of the most respected leaders in the Church, who defends Catholic foundational teachings and scholarship with a sharp intellect and informed institutional knowledge of the Church and it's teachings. He is not some fringe character pulling the strings in the Vatican. What nonsense.

Thanks for copying that comment. Many of us don’t have the time to read everything in depth so we must resort to scanning over things and n the process we miss many things.

Your shot post puts the entire WAPO piece n context and at the same time informs of the depth of Catholic teaching.

Well done!
