Bet Burke’s regal raiments in that photo explain to a high degree the pope’s disapprobation of him. Francis sees ostentatiousness as ill befitting the clergy.

I've heard that Pope Francis disliked the Cappa Magna, but Burke's vestments in the pictures you posted are nothing but the Cardinal's official clothing, not Raymond Burke's personal fashion statement.
The Pope could no more criticize that than criticize a U.S. Marine office for wearing Dress Blues.
