text: I love the parallels between Nestorius and Burke, with Francis in the Cyril role. Francis has been more merciful with Burke than Cyril would have been. Perhaps Burke is calling for Francis to be more forceful in condemning heresy? 
  
  I hope this is the way Burke meant his sermon, that Francis, the defender of the faith, has been acting faithfully and mercifully in searching for a place where Burke's 'heresies' would not infect the flock but he would still be able to work to the benefit of the Church.
