Cardinal Burke Remains in his Roman Apartment

Cardinal Raymond Burke has found financial supporters to pay for his Roman apartment, reports Loup Besmond de Senneville on La-Croix.com (22 April).

In November, Francis asked the Cardinal, whom he considers an "enemy", to pay the monthly rent according to the estimated market price in Rome: 8,000 euros.

It is revealing that the "Pope of a Poor Church" is so interested in money.

Instead of benefactors paying the $8000 rent, is there no one who can offer an apartment to the Cardinal for a more modest rent? It would be a good testimony if Cardinal Burke would not want to live in an $8000 apartment. It is half the annual income of someone on the minimum wage.....

The Pope is obviously trying to cut backon unnecessary and frivolous expenses. $8,000/month ($1 = 1Euro) for rent is ridiculous.More

Don't be a dupe. If it were Fr. James Martin, Francis wouldn't care if his rent was 50,000 euros . . , the Vatican would cover it. The "Burke" treatment is for Bergoglio's enemies. He's a vicious petty tyrant.
