This isn't the first time that Burke had opposed Pope Francis.  On the eve of the Episcopal Synod of October 2014, he was one of five authors who published a book [Permanere nella virita di Cristo] "To remain in the truth of Christ".  In it they emphasized that they are 'united in firmly maintaining that the new Testament portrays Christ UNAMBIGUOUSLY prohibiting divorce and remarriage.  In plain words----They accord themselves all rights and privileges of their state----but those laity,  who have marital problems aren't to be even given a sympathetic ear.  They fail in the service of the people---no compassion and no mercy.

Burke certainly deserves  to be included in the title of 'bad shepherds who load crushing burdens onto the shoulders of folk without lifting a finger to help them bear it." [Pope Francis' comments at the Inaugural Mass on October 5, 2014].  He is nothing else but an ecclesiastical businessman.
