Who says you cannot do both? Nothing is stoping individual bishops attending and then praying rosary’s and making long statements about how much they love the Pope outside. Why would you reject the seat at the bishops conference unless you are tying to insulate yourself from fraternal connection and correction?

Yes, and unfortunately his way of expressing his concerns outside looks to me a lot like attention and publicity seeking rather than a desire to actually effect change.

The only good reason I can think of, is if he's already tried that repeatedly. There are a lot of ways to communicate with other bishops privately.
