I am sure that there is gossip, but I don't think we should necessarily trust it. And I haven't even seen anything suggesting that the Vatican acted for the reasons you have given. It may have happened I suppose, but it would surprise me if that court was such a bad assignment that it was fully stocked with ecclesiastical ne'er-do-wells.
