Concerning the situation with Cardinal Burke: I am not sure if it is proper for me to voice this concern in public, but I have seen elderly people in their late 80's first become very "unfiltered" and then a bit paranoid early in their struggle with dementia. I do not say that is the case here, but this is concerning behavior and brings up the question - How do we handle an impaired Pope. The question was brought up at the end of John Paul II's life at which time I dismissed it as he seemed very old but still mentally competent. However in retrospect it also seems many of the big players in the sex abuse scandal got missed in part to his infirmity - though there were many others who looked the other way that were not so old and ill.

Also "Cardinal Ray and El Rey" is some next level headline writing.
