TL;DR Summary

Pope Francis is reportedly evicting US Cardinal Raymond Burke, a prominent critic, from his Vatican apartment and revoking his salary. The decision is not intended as a personal punishment but stems from the belief that a person should not enjoy cardinal privileges while criticizing the head of the Catholic Church. This move is seen as unprecedented in the Francis era and could deepen divides between the Vatican and the US church. Cardinal Burke, who has openly criticized Pope Francis over social and liturgical issues, has yet to respond to the news.
