I certainly don’t know of any. The same goes for the many backseat Popes we have around here also.

Cardinal Burke is a man of great wisdom, intellect, and holiness. His opinion matters. However, never expect him to openly speak against the Pope.

His (Cardinal Burke's) opinion matters.

Doesn't matter to the Pope, does it? Otherwise, why has Papa Tango removed Burke from two major positions?

Are you sure about that?

“The pope, more than anyone else as the pastor of the universal church, is bound to serve the truth,” Burke said. “The pope is not free to change the church’s teachings with regard to the immorality of homosexual acts or the insolubility of marriage or any other doctrine of the faith.”
