Pope Francis To Evict U.S Critic From Vatican

NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Pope Francis in an unprecedented move is evicting U.S Cardinal Raymond Burke from his Vatican apartment and revoking his salary.

Cardinal Burke is part of a group of american conservatives who have long opposed the pope’s plans for reforming the catholic church.
A vatican source told the bbc that pope francis has not yet carried out his intention to evict the 75-year-old.

The source added the decision is not meant as a personal punishment, but comes from the belief that a person should not enjoy cardinal privileges while criticizing the head of the church.

Earlier this month, he fired joseph strickland, a conservative texas bishop who had blasted his attempts to move the church to more progressive positions on abortion, transgender rights and same-sex marriage. The removal followed a church investigation into governance of the diocese.
