I’m not Catholic so I have a question if you don’t mind.
Can’t the Pope get rid of these Priests and Bishops who go against their religion and if so then why does he not?
because the Catholic church has been infiltrated by communists and the homosexuals and communists are after the same thing. Power and greed.
Many Catholics wonder the same thing.

Google the “vatican swiss guard gay”
There are those of us who’ve asked the same question and just get labeled as “ hater” or “ anti-Catholic”.
And then we’re told that once a priest, always a priest, and that he is still qualified to consecrate the eucharist and perform sacraments, as long as his intent is pure.
And then Catholic blast other churches for allowing gay clegy.
The double standard is noted by most and ignored by the Catholics.
This is not a very direct answer to your inquiry (although I believe the answer to your question is, “NO”) but this pope is an enigma. Even Catholics, after six years, can’t tell you what to expect, or what he actually stands for, nor give any confident assurances of where he is “attempting” to take the Church.
Frankly, I am for one alarmed at all that I see, with the exception of the large pockets of tradition, devotion and piety, but those exceptions are not in power and being removed, reassigned, and rather banished to Malta, if you get my drift.
In fact, let me rephrase that— I’m scared.
I wish there was an answer to that. But with almost 1/2 a million priests in the world, it’s probably not easy to know which ones are gay or not. When they do raise attention to their attractions though, they should quickly be shown the door, IMO.
Do NOT give CRS any money until they get straight with Catholicism.
Because birds of a feather flock together...
Because what you really believe is shown by your actions and fruit. (Ja. 2:18; Mt. 7:20) And the popes and prelates overall must believe that treating even publicly known proabortion/sodomite/Muslim souls and their supporters as members in life and in death is right, without which Rome would lose a lot of its membership.
Unlike fund. evangelicals, conservative RCs cannot separate from these "brethren," except by becoming part of a sect like the SSPX, or a schism, like the SSPV. Which means they are like Protestants, since they rely upon their interpretation of what is written as being the truth, versus following the leadership who show by their actions and fruit the meaning of historical RC teaching.
"It follows that the Church is essentially an unequal society, that is, a society comprising two categories of per sons, the Pastors and the flock...the one duty of the multitude is to allow themselves to be led, and, like a docile flock, to follow the Pastors." (VEHEMENTER NOS, an Encyclical of Pope Pius X promulgated on February 11, 1906),
