In light of recent news involving the confiscation of living provisions for Cardinal Burke, by Pope Francis, I thought it worth trying to find some clarification on the question is there no possible scenario in which a Pope can be corrected? St. Peter was publicly corrected for his moral behaviour by St. Paul and there have been popes who have been corrected theologically. Pope John XXII had been corrected for preaching that souls don’t experience the beatific vision until after the final judgement - which was false and he eventually amended that stance based on corrections that he received.
St. Thomas Aquinas gives us distinctions about how and when a subject can correct a superior. For those who believe that Cardinal Burke was guilty of stepping outside the bounds of St. Thomas' teaching, they may find themselves being equally guilty of the thing they accuse the good Cardinal of.

For anyone who sees this, could you pray for Bridget from Ireland. She's my mother. She's a beautiful God loving woman who has been battling cancer for the past few years.
If St. Paul can correct St. Peter "to his face", a Cardinal (or anyone else for that manner) should be able to correct an erring Pope.
How much longer are we expected to keep pretending any of this is ok?
if the pope can be wrong, then yes a cardinal can correct the pope.
I met Cardinal Burke Briefly in Ireland around 5 years ago, I was on my Bike and decided to see what all the fuss was about outside a local church I was all in my cycling gear and it was a cold evening I was coming home from work , he had just said a confirmation mass it was in the evening time so I decided to make my way in the side entrance, the church was empty he was walking back up the aisle in his priestly Garments and his crozier in hand with two young priests following him in respect, he seemed in deep reverence to the Eucharist in the tabernacle I welcomed him to Ireland and put out my hand he gently squeezed it and said thank you ,he passed on up to the altar genuflected and bowed his head , it was a surreal experience .
Without answering St Athanasius stood alone against the Aryan heresy.
St. Catherine of Siena, simple girl from poor family convinced the Pope to return the papacy to Rome from Avignon and encouraged him to ignore the advice of his cardinals.
All I can think of is "The Emperor has no Clothes."
Jesus calmed the sea in very stormy waters. As we experience the current tumult of Holy Mother Church, trust in and stay close to Jesus. We’re being severely tested now, but our Lord will bring us safely home. God bless.
Anyone can correct the pope (or anyone else, for that matter). One only needs to speak the truth. Whether or not that truth is received, is another matter--and that is the responsibility of the one who is corrected.
The guy served the church his whole life.. then gets his ability to live taken away, for clinging to actual doctrine and getting on the bad side of the Pope who has apparently let so many actual crimes slide from other people. The only thing held sacred now is that the Pope is infalible and unquestionable. Very depressing.
Cheers for the video Brian. God bless
When the Pope pulls a “Fauci” and claims that to criticize his words or actions is to criticize “the Church” or “the Science”… then we are in trouble!
I see Lofton did a 12 week rebuttal.
Really appreciate a balanced and fully informed perspective ... Thank you and God reward you Brian
The pope should conduct himself in such manner that he does not require criticism.
I would think Paul correcting Peter and, though it isn’t quite the same thing, Nathan admonishing David would show that the Pope can be corrected.
May God continue to Bless you for your focus on truth!
A peasant could correct the Pope. Come on now...
Cardinal Burke is not without portfolio in Rome. He is a member of two dicasteries, and of the Apostolic Signatura, the high court of the Church’s legal system. Pope Francis reappointed him to that in 2017.
