Strike the shepherd and the sheep will scatter is an old and failed management paradigm tried time and again for 2000+ years by those in an apostolic setting inexperienced with the tools of executive competency, beyond "I said so" or "I don't like you".
What is telling is the off the record commentary of Bishops. Cowardly. What, do they have to lose? Most are at/near retirement age. This failure to speak the truth, quote the law of the Church, stand firm on a just process is objective cowardice.
I 100% believe the Pillar's Reporting. I 100% believe Francis is the Pope and has complete authority to do whatever he wants without appeal. I am disappointed that the Episcopal Brothers & Fathers stand seemingly idly by muttering "that's a shame" where, at the same time, vocations to the priesthood AND the Episcopacy tank; reportedly 30% of those approached for a mitre decline. No one wants to be led by men like you or worse, become men like you, soft, passive accustomed to comfort, cowardly.
As a father and a brother in the natural order, this your Excellencies, and Eminences IS NOT how fathers or brothers actually act. It is CLEARLY how shepherds DO NOT act. It IS NOT how a successor to the Apostles acts. Muttering platitudes of concern behind a veil & using an agent as your mouthpiece.
Are you all moral, spiritual and ethical castrati? All 290 of you? Every one? Are you THAT attached to an office that you would leave your son and brother abandoned?
What, pray tell, will you do when the actual persecution arrives and you are compelled to stand or fold? I do not know what the future holds, but this may be only Act 1, scene 1.

What you call cowardice, I consider prudence and courage.
