Pope Fires Conservative American Republican for Hating on Fags

Pope Francis has reassigned (aka fired) a conservative American republitard cardinal from a key post to one that is mostly symbolic - for excessively hating on fags and lesbians.
Cardinal Raymond Burke, a leading american republican conservative catholic, has been vocal in his criticism of the direction the Pope is leading the Catholic Church.
Burke was one of the highest ranking Americans in the church hierarchy in his position on the Vatican's supreme court. But he was reassigned to the position of Patron of the Order of Malta, the Vatican announced on Saturday. The National Catholic Reporter points out that Burke's new post is a job that "has almost no responsibilities."
The change, however, was not unexpected. Last month, Burke himself said he had been ousted from the Vatican's high court.
Burke has been outspoken about his opposition to Pope Francis' move toward more openness and inclusiveness of gays and lesbians.
"The Pope is not free to change the church's teachings with regard to the immorality of homosexual acts or the insolubility of marriage or any other doctrine of the faith," Burke told Buzzfeed recently.
Funny that. God's representative on Earth, sent by God to interpret and spread God's word, "...is not free to change the church's teaching."
When a recent draft report included a call for the church to be more welcoming to gays, Burke said the report "lacks a solid foundation in the sacred Scriptures." Guess Burke skipped the whole New Testament and that part about "judge not, lest ye be judged.." or "..let he who is without sin, cast the first stone."
Subsequently, some of the language on the "gifts and qualities" that gay people can bring to the church was removed from the report.
Maybe the same-sex pedophile Catholic priests who prance around in expensive glittering dresses while burning expensive incense prefer a church that isn't more welcoming to people who people who act and dress the same way but prefer consenting adults. Go figure.
The Pope has appointed moderates in several big dioceses, including in Chicago earlier this fall, and he's removed some archconservatives from their posts.

Catholicism has officially recognized scientific facts like the "Big Bang" and evolution for 50 years.
They're not all backwards and moronic like evangelicals.

This one has me confused. If you believe as Catholic doctrine proclaims that the Pope speaking ex cathedra is infallible, then why wouldn't a Pope be able to declare that previously accepted church doctrine was wrong?
