: Father Francis G. Morrisey, also a canon law
: expert, told Crux that “the cardinalate has
: nothing to do with the priesthood, or the
: episcopate. It is an honor that can be
: taken away.”
:
: This means that if a bishop is made a
: cardinal and then has that honor taken away,
: he is still a bishop, just as a priest would
: remain a priest, Morrisey noted.
:
: Though it’s impossible to predict what Pope
: Francis will do, both Martens and Morrisey
: agree he shouldn’t take the red hats from
: the four cardinals who presented the dubia.
:
: Morrisey’s argument is that it would “make
: them into victims among the
: arch-conservative factions, and this could
: easily lead to schism.”
:
: He doesn’t believe Francis should answer
: the questions either, because they’re all
: “trick questions like the Pharisees asked
: Jesus.”
