For all these reasons, the universal power of jurisdiction possessed by the pope cannot annul and destroy the native power of the local bishop, as would be the case if the pope could whimsically remove any bishop without due process, stated grave cause, and the opportunity for defense, as Francis has now done with many successors of the Apostles.

Saw Cardinal Burke speak at the Church Teaches Forum in Louisville in 2019. Great talk. Seems to increasingly hint that we might be headed into the Apocalypse. He turned 75 June 19 and is no longer Patron of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta. Not sure Francis will do anything in his regard though it is true that he, Cardinal Sarah, Strickland, and Benedict’s assistant have had harsh actions taken against them.
