You’re guessing that bishops are being blackmailed? Yes, I’d guess, some. That seems probable to me.
It would be unsurprising if a majority were being blackmailed or were actual perpetrators of the overall conspiracy.
Jesus picked 12 of which one was a complete traitor, 10 more were abject cowards, and only one who stayed by Him to the end.
I doubt the ratio has improved markedly since then.
