Francis’ condemnation of capital punishment is Pope Francis' "personal opinion as a man,” Cardinal Raymond Burke explained.
During a July 21 question and answer session for the Marian Catechists in La Crosse, Wisconsin (full audio below), he invited his audience to buy a copy of the Catechism "as it is now and keep it in a safe place“ [laughter].
Burke noticed that in former days the popes spoke little and avoided expressing personal opinions not to cause confusion. Now, "we have the situation of a Pope who speaks a lot in the first person.”
Burke distinguished between "the Church's official teaching" and Francis "expressing opinions."
The Cardinal further reported that Francis’ attempt to manipulate the Italian Our Father failed, “Italians tell me that no one pays any attention [laughter]. They continue to pray the Our Father as they always have.“
Further, Burke revealed that the [decadent] German bishops are "very much involved" in the Amazon Synod especially through money,

Wow, Gesù è con noi . I obviously overestimated you.
You're unable to argue your position intellectually so the best you can do is lie to me and about me.
FACT CHECK:
I'm not imposing anything. That's a lie. The Curia has imposed Pope Francis on The Church and God, for whatever reason, has allowed that to happen. I had nothing to do with either instance happening.

Wow, Gesù è con noi . I obviously overestimated you.

You're unable to argue your position intellectually so the best you can do is lie to me and about me.

FACT CHECK:
I'm not imposing anything. That's a lie. The Curia has imposed Pope Francis on The Church and God, for whatever reason, has allowed that to happen. I had nothing to do with either instance happening.

If you can't explain why that happened, don't blame me. It's ironic you scream about personal attacks while making one against me and "warning" everyone with false information.

FACT CHECK:
No, the Magisterium of the Church has not excommunicated me. That's a lie also. I told you once before that your opinion about the Magisterium is not the definitive or infallible. Repeating your opinion doesn't change that .

It just means that's all you can do: repeat your errors as if they were factually correct. Clearly you have no other support for your opinion or else you would have cited it long ago.

So that's what it comes down to.

Your opinion is Pope Francis isn't valid because you think the Magisterium invalidates his papacy. Sorry, that isn't how the Church works. What you believe is irrelevant. Those who are in a position to vote for Francis' expulsion feel differently and God has not moved them to change that view.

You keep ignoring that important theological point. This is not simply an issue of politics. Bad things happen because God allows them to happen as part of our free will. That is also true for the workings of His Church.
