Split between Burke and Bannon

Frederic Martel in his book  In The Closet of the Vatican  is merciless in his treatment of Cardinal Raymond Burke, whom he describes as 'unstraight'.

He writes: " Raymond Burke is one of those figures who distorts Catholicism: an effeminate, ultra-conservative creature who criticises the feminisation of the Church, and who is, in my view, profoundly ridiculous. Those who defend him do not serve the Church: they value pastice and fakery."

The current issue of The Tablet reports that Burke and Bannon, who have been close allies up to recently, have fallen out.
