Pope Francis allegedly confirmed with a papal biographer his decision to take punitive measures against U.S. Cardinal Raymond Burke.
Biographer Austen Ivereigh claimed in an article for the Catholic blog “Where Peter Is” to have spoken with Pope Francis about the situation at his residence in the Vatican.
Francis allegedly told the biographer that he did indeed revoke Burke’s pension and Vatican apartment because he was “using those privileges against the Church,” according to Ivereigh.
