Burke can correct his own remarks until he is blue in the face, but his opinion is just that, his opinion. He cannot correct the Pope or the Synod on the Family. Francis has a paradigm for his Magisterium that favors pastoral over legal approaches and essentially disregards the up-tight Magisterium of Papa Nono and Saints Pius and John Paul. If Burke wants to look silly, he can keep spinning his wheels, as can Chaput and DiNardo. It is not apostasy to make the hierarchy think. It is apostacy for them not to do so.

I strongly suspect that Burke is Asexual (mannerism and statements) and does recognize that his orientation affects his views on sexual morality and on Christ (who was not, despite their claims to the contrary that he led a detatched life).
