"As a cardinal, Cardinal Burke has faculties to say Mass whenever and wherever he chooses. "

I'm not sure this is true under Canon Law. The Bishop controls the faculties of priests in his diocese, and he can grant and suspend priestly faculties at will. The same goes for an Abbot.

As Cardinal, Burke is not necessarily this Abbot-Povost's ecclesiatical superior, on the Abbot's own territory.

Nevertheless, what this Abbot did was obnoxiously insulting. Burke has been singled out for public humiliation. THis --- and his equanimity, his refusal to lash out --- makes me think God is choosing him to be a great saint.

I still think Burke could be the next Pope.

Oremus.

My copy of Canon Law is at work, and I wouldn’t count on my memory for details, but things do work differently for Bishops, and it wouldn’t surprise me if they were even more different for Cardinals.

Here's some further clarification from Rorate Caeli; at least Cardinal Burke has been welcomed in some less hostile environments in Vienna:

Cardinal Burke in Vienna

[Romulus]

Any cardinal possesses faculties to celebrate the sacraments anywhere on earth, and presumably beyond. What Cardinal Burke does not possess is the right to celebrate at a place where he’s unwelcome. He was refused a venue, perhaps because pressure was applied to deny him access; so far as I can tell this has nothing to do with faculties.

Would it not be magnificent to witness another conclave in short order and to see Raymond Cardinal Burke step out onto the balcony, announce that he is taking the papal name Pius XIII or Leo XIV and order Walter Cardinal Kaspar and a half dozen like Kaspar arrested and jailed at Regina Coeli Prison.

St. John Paul the Great referenced Cardinal Burke as "My Little Raimundo" and sped his course up the hierarchichal ladder. God can facilitate his final earthly ascent. The progressives will be in complete panic over such an election.

Certainly, as pope, Burke would be the religious superior of all concerned and might well wish to invite the abbot ans Christoph Cardinal Schonbrun for a little conversation about manners and clerical ethics at the newly restored papal palace residence of Burke as Pius XIII or whatever, The discussion might take place right after the guests attend Papa Burke's daily Tridentine Mass at St. Peter's and just before that day's announcement of the retirement to cloister of Schonbrun and the abbot.

From your lips to God's ears.

Paraphrasing Pope Paul VI, it seems that smoke of Hell have entered the Church when Pope Francis opened the Vatican doors to the Marxist Liberation Theology.

H.H. Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI: “Cardinal Raymond Burke is one of the great cardinals of the Church.”

St. Catherine of Siena, "We've had enough of exhortations to be silent! Cry out with a hundred thousand tongues. I see that the world is rotten because of silence."
