I agree that all have the right to articulate questions and remember numerous times clerics and laity have done so.   What I was concerned with was going beyond just articulating questions. I certainly remember Sr. Theresa Kane in 1979 publicly asking JPII to open ministries to women  at the Basilica in DC. She didn't get an answer right then but did later.  I must admit that my previous comment was  emotionally based on what I perceived as the going beyond just questioning and mostly to the threatening aspects associated with Burke's question, as he is quoted  "There is, in the tradition of the Church, the practice of correction of the Roman Pontiff. It is something that is clearly quite rare [last time 1330s]. But if there is no response to these questions, then I would say that it would be a question of taking a formal act of correction of a serious error.”  I not sure if the serious error is not responding to Burke or that Burke anticipates an unacceptable answer.
