As reported in the article Pope could strip Cardinal Burke, 3 other cardinals of red hats over ‘dubia’: Dean of Vatican’s top appeals court, some in the Vatican are talking of punitive action against the four Cardinals, and I presume that could spread to take in anyone game to support them, such as Cardinal Pell.
The article commences:MADRID, November 29, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – While the dubia of four Cardinalsconcerning clarification of Amoris Laetitia spreads wider and wider ripples in the Vatican and worldwide, the dean of the Apostolic Tribunal of the Roman Rota, the highest appeals court of the Church, says that they risk losing their Cardinalate.
He’d go well on Catholica, wouldn’t he? He has the Coyneness to suggest that the numbers are more important than the truth - two Synods – and that must count for more than truth and fidelity to millennia-old Christian beliefs, affirmed at Council after Council, Synod after Synod and Apostolic Exhortation after Apostolic Exhortation. And then, the effrontery to assert that the Cardinals are defying the Holy Spirit, when Amoris laetitia does not satisfy the conditions for infallibility.
“The action of the Holy Spirit cannot be doubted,” he says. “[The Cardinals] question not one synod but two! The ordinary and the extraordinary,” Mons. Vito Pinto explained during a conference in the Ecclesiastical University of San Dámaso in Madrid, Spain.
Pinto whinges on:“Which Church do these Cardinals defend?” Pinto reproaches. “The Pope is faithful to the doctrine of Christ.”
If that is the case, then answering the Cardinals’ questions should be a simple matter. Why does the Pope not do so?
He goes on:“What they have done is a very serious scandal that could lead the Holy Father to remove them from the Cardinalate, as it has sometimes happened in Church history,” Pinto expounds.
It didn’t take long to get to the issuing of threats, did it? The Cardinals have obviously set some nerves ajangle.
