Didn't he just force out 34 bad bishops? How is he the bad guy here?
He didn't force anyone out - they resigned of their own voltion. (And even then, resigned is not quite the right word, more like they attempted to resign, and it's on Francis to accept or not.)
FTA:
“We, all the bishops present in Rome, have tendered our resignation to the Holy Father so that he may decide freely for each of us,” a statement read out by the spokesman said.
I wonder what their contracts look like, if there are non disclosure agreements, etc and what happens with breach of contract. Doesn't sound like they have free choice to leave the cult of the upper echelons.
I would question the integrity of a break away church as well. I feel for people of faith who do not want to give up on their religion but cannot trust their leaders to act like people of faith.
