I am clearer that there has been a battle going on in the KofM, and something was found in that investigation that has made the KofM more amenable to Vatican “help.” There is to be another Crux article tomorrow, from a Canon Lawyer.  I don’t know if that will help or simply add confusion. 
 
As to where Card. Burke and Secty of State Parolin fit in all of this – it doesn’t look good for Burke.  He appears to be consigned to the sidelines and I think that is a good idea.  Parolin also appears to be sidelined – or he is being very quiet given criticism of how he has participated so far.  Per Jan 27 Crux article re Parolin correspondence with the KofM “The tone of the letter, reported by the National Catholic Register and confirmed by the order, made clear that Parolin believes he is now calling the shots.”  Of course, it does matter who is judging that “tone.” 
 
The titles of the Crux articles still seem to insist this is a Vatican “takeover” of the KofM.   Is it?
