"Just before Christmas, Burke looked on as the No. 1 knight — falsely claiming he followed the wishes of the Holy See — fired the No. 2 knight."
If Burke was looking on as the No. 1 Knight fired the No. 2 Knight, Burke could hardly have been the No. 1 Knight, could he? Also I think Boeselager was No. 3 Knight not No.2.
There is no evidence that Cardinal Burke said the Pope asked for Boeselager's dismissal only Boeselager' accusation, as yet unproven.
