The irony of being kicked out for his abrupt, aloof, authoritarian governance with seemingly an act of abrupt, aloof, authoritarian governance is not lost on me.
He's criticized as a bad bishop for welcoming weird, problematic lay communities into his diocese. Meanwhile Rupnik's weird, problematic art collective keeps its doors open in Rome while Rupnik gets himself neat consultant positions.
I'd guess we are bankrupting the Vatican by playing partisan, leftist politics with the Church's influence. Maybe Francis is counting on a Chinese bailout in exchange for his silence on their atrocities?
Considering how many communities and vocations have flocked to his diocese, I find it difficult to believe that his leadership style is overly aloof or authoritarian. If you get to choose your boss (by choosing where to apply for seminary or an order asking for sponsorship), would you really choose to submit to an authoritarian? "The proof is in the pudding," as the saying goes.
