If Bishop Zanchetta were a pastor and his bishop moved him around like Pope Francis did, Bishop Zanchetta would be laicized and Pope Francis would be removed from office. Or is this why Bishop Stika stays in place, because he has not done anything the pope would not himself do?

And, like the former president, Stika becomes bolder because he is protected. Many complaints have been made to the nuncio and the Vatican, with no acknowledgement and no result. His latest grab is to make the schools, which received PPP money from the government (after a delay because the diocese held on to it), pony up 25% of what they received for proper PPP purposes (which has probably been spent) to him, so he can pay for his overspending.
