Francis talks synod, demotion of Cardinal Burke in latest interview | National Catholic Reporter It is interesting that it was probably Benedict who did not follow through on Burke's formal appointment to the Signatura. It seems Francis did not give him what he wanted, but what he needed. That is how he seems to be looking at both how to deal with a gay child (without them resorting to suicide) and how to deal with second marriages after a divorce. It seems like he is looking for solutions, not dealing with factions. This means its a bad time in Rome to be doctrinaire about doctrine. It will be next year when the real resistance happens - although it won't be from Burke. His new job with the Knights of Malta keeps him out of the next Synod. Wonder if Francis is crazy like a fox after all?
