Cardinal Raymond Burke, one of the four cardinals who have asked the Pope to clarify Amoris Laetitia, has said that their initiative has the total support of some other cardinals.

He has also confirmed that any correction of the Pope would initially be private, and denied that the four cardinals have given the Pope an “ultimatum”.

In an interview with the Italian newspaper La Verita, as translated by Andrew Guernsey, Cardinal Burke said: “We are not only four. I personally know other cardinals who fully endorse the dubia.”
