​Interesting  reading.​

Grace &  peace,

I received a small newspaper in the mail yesterday.  It was called  
something
like "Family Catholic Journal".  The lead article on page one caught  my eye
immediately.  It was a summary of an interview with the conservative  
Cardinal
Burke.  If he actually made these criticisms of Francis I and his  
policies, it is
nothing more than shocking.  For starters he accused Francis of "doing  much
harm to the Church", and it went downhill from that.
 
He also dispelled the idea that his recent Vatican reassignments were a  
normal
"lateral" move and readjustment, and admitted that he has been  downright
demoted for his conservative views.
 
I looked carefully at this little newspaper, and although it didn't claim  
any
direct association, it may well be loosely associated with the  break-away
Society of Pius X.  If so, their reporting might have a strong  bias.
 
Still, it shows that it is not only some bishops who are uncomfortable  with
Francis.  Conservative laity are, too.
