All good points Mike. Cardinal Burke is not the Pope, and must stop acting like the Pope. Burke’s public 2nd guessing with bad Faith, bad teachings, the schism he himself is fomenting, and profound disrespect is blasphemy, and deserving of the discipline he is receiving. The same goes for Bishop Strickland.
I stand with Pope Francis, as I have with every Pope, not these divisive false prophets.
“Like all the fomenters of heresy and schism, they make false boast of having kept the ancient Catholic faith while they are overturning the principal foundation of the Faith and of Catholic doctrine. They certainly recognize in Scripture and Tradition the source of Divine Revelation, but they refuse to listen to the ever-living magisterium of the Church.” — Pius IX, Inter gravissimas
I love Francis project, I think of it this way, I always felt like the Church was an institution with a way of life attached to it, but Francis wants that reversed, to a Way of life with an institution there as support, it’s a very Jesuit way of seeing the world, especially if your a missionary in a foreign land. I only point that out to show I’m thoroughly team Francis, but my sense is that Francis doesn’t see Burke as a heretic, so heresy is too strong here, Burke went too far in his second Dubia, but questioning the wisdom of some of Francis approach was called for at the start, and probably not even that surprising to Francis. We should all start any disputes from a place where we assume the best about a persons intentions
His Eminence was created a Cardinal by the Pope and can be removed from the Cardinalate by the Pope. His Holiness, Pope Francis, has exercised exquisite patience with Burke in the face of direct insults, accusations of heterodoxy/heresy, etc. He's fortunate that Francis exercises great compassion and is only withholding his stipend as a Cardinal and removing the subsidy for an apartment in Rome. Frankly, in light of the wickedness he has enabled in social media, he should be removed from the Cardinalate. I, too, stand with Pope Francis.

Mike you are the devil's voice. You are the divisive one, the liar and the accuser. May God have mercy on you.
I pray for all Church leaders, that they may stay faithful to God, and not be swayed by the lure of the secular world's approval.
Hey Mike, great essay. I think you mean the video is by Michael Lofton, not Michael Voris. I'm looking forward to your analysis.

"But in the meantime, here’s a video by Michael Voris that gives an overview of a few of his errors:"
Hey, Michael Voris there sounds a lot like Michael Lofton :-)
