I think you are right about the issue of Burke actually able to serve the Pope in good faith!

Church history would clearly suggest this is not an unique problem.....

My instinct is to put in a really tough delegate who understands he's stuck with Burke...and IS the Popes man and the KM must understand that the Pope is in charge and chooses the leadership/delegate and Burke is merely an accessory  whose papal "connection" is minor.
