Burke's Enemy Denies Calling Burke "My Enemy"

“Francis told me he had decided to remove Cardinal Burke's cardinal privileges — his apartment and salary — because he used those privileges against the Church [= Bergoglio],” writes Francis' biographer and loyalist Austen Ivereigh (WherePeterIs.com, November 29).

He met Francis on November 27. Ivereigh denies that Francis called Burke “my enemy.” He calls the quote from LaNuovaBq.it “pure fiction.”

Ivereigh later asked Francis about the "my enemy" quote and received this note back, "I never used the word ‘enemy’ nor the pronoun ‘my.’ I simply announced the fact at the meeting of the heads of the dicasteries, without giving specific explanations."
