It’s a pretty accurate descriptor of some catholic leaders unfortunately, including some who were outspoken and trying to whip up their followers with lies about the 2020 election.
I am glad the Vatican is trying to clean house a bit though. Some of the people being removed by Francis are those in the articles above, like Strickland.
I understand some clerics did back Trump. It just seemed a bit weird to use this as the main qualifier here. But your point about some of them being removed stands, fair enough.
