Sandro Magister is reporting Pope Francis will exile Cardinal Burke

This ought to really liven things up in the Pope Francis "go out and make a mess" department.

What a lightening rod.

Did you ever think you'd live to see the day when the Pope splinters the Church and he's off to the races building his administration with infidels?

Sources confirmed to LifeSite News that Cardinal Burke has been exiled and further states if it happens before the Synod, he won't be able to attend.

What do you make of this curious story about the Synod "co-president"

You don't suppose they'll all marry each other at the synod, do you?

Cardinal Burke's removal was a tough one for our friends at Church Militant who has asked for prayers for the Church, our Pope and Cardinal Burke.

This is a very unusual step - a group of Cardinals has issued a public warning to the Pope about the misuse of his authority to confound and confuse Catholics on the prohibition on Communion for Catholics with two wives or husbands.

This really throws a wet blanket on Cardinal Kasper.

Pope Francis is reportedly irritated.

As Patrick Madrid eloquently stated - lines are being drawn in the sand.

Or, as Carol not so eloquently states - this is really getting ugly.
