Some Vatican observers have seen the Knights of Malta drama as a proxy battle between Francis and Burke. He is naturally inclined to support the reformers, and seized the opportunity to encourage them.?Andrew Chesnut, professor of Catholic studies at Virginia Commonwealth University, said the row could be ?read as a proxy battle between Burke and Pope Francis. The Rome-based chivalric and charity institution said Grand Master Matthew Festing, 67, resigned after the pope asked him to step down on Tuesday. Ludwig Hoffmann-Rumerstein will act as the order?s interim Grand Master until an election can take place. ?Historically, the Knights have mixed ecclesiastical policy and high finance in a way which is repugnant to Francis.
