I would envision more than one presenter and another presenter who does not have the problems Burke has with changes introduced by Pope Francis  Other cardinals and bishops who are expert in Canon Law are not having the same problems Burke and his cohort are having.  

I don't have a problem with Burke having a stage to present his views.   I have a problem with him being the only one on the stage and those attending not hearing other viewpoints.  I think it matters that what the Pope wants and has envisioned as possible is probably not going to be positively presented.  If all you "learn" at a conference is everything that is bad or difficult, how does that help you see other ways in which the same thing can be seen as helpful and good?  

Is it usual for a regional Canon Law Society meeting to be so narrowly focused and to have only one person presenting?  Is this a "conference" or a "lecture?"
