Because there were many Catholics left to drown under his watch. He ignored his own flock to travel the world and “minister” to others.

Not sure what you mean by 'left to drown'. Can you be more specific? As for traveling the world, that is the role of a bishop - to visit his flock. For Catholics all over the world, those visits were the only opportunity they would ever have to see Peter's successor.

While I agree that he may be sainted one day, to do it this quickly is a huge mistake.

He is not being sainted; he will be given the title of Venerable.

B16 is mopping up from him.

Again, please provide some specifics as to what you infer by this statement.

I am at a loss to understand your concerns and sincerely hope you will provide some additional specifics to support them.
