Francis: The Latin American Dictator Is on the Rampage Again

Depriving Cardinal Burke of his pension would be a flagrant violation of his rights, writes Luis Badilla on IlSismografo.

• Francis’ attempt to punish Burke is an “ugly affair” and an intolerable imitation of the way Latin American dictators deal with their opponents.

• To clean up the mess created by the news, Francis pulled a “new spokesman” out of his hat [= the Francis hagiographer Austen Iverigh].

• The People of God must accept in an act of faith what Iverigh says who has no official authority.

• The unmarried Ivereigh resigned as an adviser to Westminster Cardinal Murphy-O'Connor in 2006, after admitting to two affairs: one in 1989 which resulted in an abortion for which he paid half the cost, and a more recent one which resulted in a miscarriage (Specola, November 30).

• This episode in Francis’ tenure is “terribly sad” and “terribly worrying.”

• Badilla fears the worst of the abysses threatening the Church: to be a lawless institution.

Austen Iverigh and Jorge Bergoglio suit each other perfectly, both little demons.

I hope Cardinal Burke, if this does happen to him, doesn't collapse into a ball sobbing "Holy Father!! How could you! I didn't mean to hurt you!!!", but instead looks Francis in the eye proudly standing his ground faithful to the Roman Rite Latin Mass and all the Catholic belief and tradition and Magisterium he so bravely has defended......rallying other faithful Catholics to likewise stand in defiance to Francis and his agenda.

Francis is going to HIS reward sooner than he thinks. It will be a big surprise to him....and everyone.

The Cardinal should start a go fund me or something similar or join the SSPX whom he has wrongfully persecuted. Maybe now he will understand the wisdom of St Marcel Lefevbre

Ik vind dit een geweldige opmerking. Blijkbaar is bij Kardinaal Burke en vele andere Kardinalen de organisatie van de Rooms Katholieke kerk belangrijker dan het Universele Rooms Katholieke geloof van voor het Tweede Vaticaanse Concilie dat de Heilige Marcel Lefebvre voor de mensheid heeft bewaard.

@123jussi Cardinal Burke is far too sensible - and far too Catholic - to go on such a wandering path

Ik begrijp je mening Petrus, de organisatie is belangrijker dan het geloof. Veel succes.

@Jan Joseph Deze "organisatie" is gesticht door Jezus Zelf. Het is Zijn mystieke Lichaam.

Ja dat is correct, maar de leiders van deze kerk, die jij niet durft te bekritiseren, hebben de organisatie gesticht door Jezus Zelf, Zijn Mystieke Lichaam, ernstig bevuild en moeten worden afgezet. In de organisatie gesticht door Jezus Zelf, Zijn Mystieke Lichaam, moeten op zeer korte termijn zuiveringen plaatsvinden, voor het volgende Conclaaf, anders valt de organisatie in duizenden stukjes uiteen. Ik wil net als jij dat de organisatie in stand blijft, ik ben beschikbaar om de organisatie te redden.
