text: There is some pretty "out there" left wing theology...NCR had an article praising someone who said Christians worship a dead man on a dead cross. If that's not out there, I don't know what is. 
  
  Believing what the Church teaches isn't "out there". 
  
  I don't know what will happen if Burke issues a formal correction. I think he will appeal to St. Thomas Aquinas where he writes:  "A subject is not competent to administer to his prelate the correction which is an act of justice through the coercive nature of punishment: but the fraternal correction which is an act of charity is within the competency of everyone in respect of any person towards whom he is bound by charity, provided there be something in that person which requires correction." St. Paul corrected St. Peter to his face. St. Catherine of Siena rebuked the pope of her time. 
  
  We are in uncharted territory with high level winks and nods given to "irregular unions" but I think even the pope is bound to Christ.
