Are you unaware that Cardinal Burke has directly criticized Francis, and has urged Catholics to make their opinions known? Catholics are not obligated to quietly acquiesce to heresy. In fact, we are OBLIGATED to publicly resist it, no matter the source. A Pope who is telling people that "religion is not the way" is a Pope who is running amok.

Cardinal Burke Praises Pope Francis’ Efforts to Re-Christianize the West
That's not to say he doesn't advise, correct, and even criticize. But it is not in such a way that it undermines the Holy Father, as so many do ("Francis is the Church's Obama," "Frankie Finochio," "He's trying to tear down Catholicism," etc. etc.): rather, Burke builds up Francis in his role of "feeding Christ's sheep" and "confirming the brethren":
Cardinal urges Pope Francis to take hot-button issues off table for next family synod.
What you read here throughout is a genuine, respectful, filial attitude. It is not slavish or flattering eccleasiastical bafflegab; neither is it insulting, a slashing put-down, or in any way subversive of the Pope's paternal authority.
Burke remains the thoughtful and honest: respectful, measured, and to the point. That's what makes him so admirable; and his pope-scorning "defenders" so terribly off the mark.
