Can a Cardinal Correct the Pope?

About this sermon

Sponsor: https://www.fishersnetwork.com Support the channel by visiting https://brianholdsworth.ca In light of recent news involving the confiscation of living provisions for Cardinal Burke, by Pope Francis, I thought it worth trying to find some clarification on the question is there no possible scenario in which a Pope can be corrected? St. Peter was publicly corrected for his moral behaviour by St. Paul and there have been popes who have been corrected theologically. Pope John XXII had been corrected for preaching that souls don’t experience the beatific vision until after the final judgement – which was false and he eventually amended that stance based on corrections that he received. St. Thomas Aquinas gives us distinctions about how and when a subject can correct a superior. For those who believe that Cardinal Burke was guilty of stepping outside the bounds of St. Thomas' teaching, they may find themselves being equally guilty of the thing they accuse the good Cardinal of.
