"Pope Francis Takes Action Against Conservative Cardinal Amidst Controversy"

Pope Francis reportedly confirmed his decision to take punitive measures against U.S. Cardinal Raymond Burke, including revoking his pension and Vatican apartment, due to Burke's alleged misuse of privileges against the Church. The Pope denied calling Burke his "enemy" but acknowledged the decision during a meeting with dicastery heads. Burke, known for his criticisms of the current papacy, claimed to have not received any official communication from the Vatican regarding the measures.
