Burke’s comments are absolutely outrageous and his actions uncanonical. To intrude into the affairs of the Archdiocese of Boston and of the Cardinal, however veiled his comments were, is beyond the pale no matter what one thinks of Kennedy.
The reason Burke was removed from St. Louis was his refusal to abide by the canons prohibiting crossing into the jurisdictions of other hierarchs. Apparently exiling him to a court which spends its time dealing with annulments and laicizations hasn’t been effective to persuade him to conform to the canons,stay out of America and avoid embarrassing the Vatican. Burke, like that character Martino, will “retire” soon; probably for “health reasons”.
