US, German cardinals demand trial, removal from office for German bishops approving gay marriage blessings
Fox News
Cardinal Raymond Burke of the U.S. and Cardinal Gerhard Müller of Germany are demanding punishment for German bishops who refuse to recant their approval of blessings for same-sex marriages.
"Whether it’s a departure, heretical teaching and denial of one of the doctrines of the faith — or apostasy in the sense of simply walking away from Christ and from His teaching in the Church to embrace some other form of religion — these are crimes," said Burke.

He continued, "I mean, these are sins against Christ Himself and, obviously then, of the most serious nature. And the Code of Canon Law provides the appropriate sanctions."
