I wasn’t sure where else to post this…
I know that a couple years ago, Pope Francis asked the Grand Master to resign and appointed an archbishop to serve as his legate for the Order. Up until then Cardinal Burke had been Cardinal Patron of the Order.
Out of curiosity, I checked their site… he is no longer listed as their Cardinal Patron, but nor is anyone else. The position has simply disappeared? I also saw today that the Grand Master has banned the EF for all official liturgical celebrations within the Order, so I think it’s safe to say +Burke has little or no influence at this time. Anyone have an update? I’m just curious.
 
Thanks. It suggests that he is still officially the Cardinal Patron of the Knights of Malta, but has been sidelined to the point that he is “de facto” suspended. I suppose that must still be the case, though he’s bio page on the Knight’s website has been removed. Its a pretty odd situation.
