There is NOTHING charitable about Raymond Leo Burke.  He has been a member of the  hard core of the curia that defends all the barriers erected by John Paul II and Benedict XVI with respect to a series of problems that have emerged in the relations between the church and contemporary culture.  These problems have to do with the way life in a relationship is understood [marriage and family], with the role of women, and the function of the priesthood.

Burke has clashed with more than Pope Francis, as well.  But Francis is very much aware that pastoral challenges require answers for TODAY.  These answers do not come from the authoritarianism and moralism demonstrated by Cardinal Burke.
