Doesn’t the Pope have Papal Supremacy and is the Vicar of Christ and pastor of the entire Church have supreme and universal power over the whole Church? If so wouldn’t criticism or disobediance against him be disobediance of Christ and be a mortal sin?

It was OK for St. Paul to disagree with St. Peter, but apparently it’s not OK for Cardinal Burke to disagree with the successor to St. Peter.

Nope. His infallibility is severely limited to teachings of faith or morals, speaking ex cathedra on doctrine “initially given to the apostolic Church and handed down in Scripture and tradition” and only under certain conditions. And it has been used extremely sparingly through history.

Leave it to a liberal to assume an infinite expansion of limited power.

Only in doctrinal issues.
