"Pope Francis Faces Backlash and Takes Action Against American Church Leaders"

Pope Francis's relationship with the conservative wing of the American Catholic Church is strained as he plans to evict Cardinal Raymond Burke, a prominent critic, from a Vatican-subsidized apartment in Rome.

Discontent with the pope's leadership is growing, with some conservatives feeling ostracized and scolded.
