It’s Cool. Pope Francis is OK with conscientious objectors :o)

You think so? Look at how he's treatted Cardinal Burke. The good cardinal attended last year's synod and clearly stated the Catholic faith. Francis did not invite him back this year. On the other hand, Kardinal Kasper is back.

Sorry for not explaining further. It was a reference to what the Holy Father said on the flight back to Rome, in response to a question from ABC’s Terry Moran,about "conscientious objection" to public laws, who mentioned issuing marriage licenses to gay couples as an example. The Holy Father affirmed every person's "human right" to be a conscientious objector.
