In few words with maybe some errors: Duncan is found to have broken his ties with the Episcopal Church. In the US TEC is sorta kinda like a confederacy, but each diocese in its constitution and canons has to explicitly affirm the national church. Duncan's diocese removed that affirmation from it's constitution, which is a strong way of suggesting "We're outta here!"

So now the national Church is saying,"You tried to quit, but you can't quit, you're fired!" and that means that the national church is saying Duncan can't do any bishop-y or priestly things, once he is "inhibited".

Then they get to fight over property. It's like a divorce but without the fun parts.

Pardon my butting in, but given I am Anglican, I can say that the gist of the article is that —Kathy tried to fire +Robert, but three bishops she hired to nail him refused to pull the trigger. So, she can’t fire him. He has effectively quit, but she can’t stop him being a full bishop in or out of TEC.
