In an interview with an Austrian newspaper, the acting head of the Order of Malta has described being present at the meeting where the Grand Chancellor was asked to resign – and that it was American Cardinal Raymond Burke, not the Grand Master, who made the request.

Meanwhile, despite their differences, the Pope is still making use of +Burke. He’s currently in Guam presiding over the canonical trial of a bishop accused of sexual abuse.

Guam is a bit out of the fray, isn’t it? Perhaps it is good that he is in a rather remote area with a trial to focus on.Meanwhile, despite their differences, the Pope is still making use of +Burke. He’s currently in Guam presiding over the canonical trial of a bishop accused of sexual abuse.

Only in terms of human politics. He’s trying a bishop of the Catholic Church. That’s a serious and weighty matter wherever it is.Guam is a bit out of the fray, isn’t it? Perhaps it is good that he is in a rather remote area with a trial to focus on.

Cardinal Burke Firmly Rejects Account by Order of Malta’s Acting Head
The Cardinal Patron of the Order says he is “stunned” by Von Rumerstein’s account of Albrecht von Boeselager’s dismissal and considers it “a calumny”; also gives interview detailing his recent visit to Guam.

I have seen this same question asked here. Common sense would say that while the Holy Father is working to reform and stabilize the Order of Malta, then Cardinal Burke would be somewhat redundant in his assignment as liason, and therefore available for the situation in Guam. The Pope just used the best available person to handle that very difficult task.When journalist Fabio Marchese Ragona asked if it was “punishment” from the Pope because he has questioned some of the Holy Father’s actions, the cardinal said: “No, I do not see this mission as a punishment of the Pope and certainly I’m not living it as a punishment!”
As to who said what, any speculation on that closed meeting is gossip.

If “speculation on that closed meeting” is gossip, what is speculation about Cardinal Burke’s assignment as liaison to the Knights of Malta?I have seen this same question asked here.
