Like the pioneer of this blacklist,Paraguayan bishop Rogelio Ricardo Livieres Plano, which is a stun of his diocese while in Rome just a year into the reigning Pope's pontificate, in 2014.
The appointment of an apostolic administrator for his see, the diocese of the City of the East, came at the end of an apostolic visit and was motivated by "serious pastoral reasons" in the name of the "greater good of the unity of the local Church."Livieres, a member of Opus Dei and a dissident bishop from the majority of the Paraguayan episcopate, was pressured to resign and, like Tyler, rejected this option.He then tried to meet with Francis, calling his dismissal an "unfounded and arbitrary decision and for which the Pope will have to answer to God more than to me."He's been 16 less than a year later.
Another unexplained case - although explainable, in light of the modus operandi that has become a pattern of behavior -is the most recent of the bishop of Arecibo, in Puerto Rico, Daniel Fernández TorresJust 57 years old.He was also invited to resign, he also rejected that option.The communication of his dismissal did not include any reason, although it was informally alluded to his refusal to do 'ecclesial propaganda' for the Covite vaccine and his criticism of gender policies.
In 2021, for the first time, it was the turn of an archbishop of Paris appointed by Francis in 2014, Michel Aupetit.The press accused him of having had a relationship with a woman in 2012And although the prelate rejected the accusation, which was not proven, Francis accepted his resignation.Returning from his trip to Greece, the Pope 'explained' that he had accepted the resignation "not at the altar of truth, but at the altar of hypocrisy."The bishop, at 72 years old, is still without office.
But there have also been numerous casualties in the Roman Curia.In 2014, Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke, until then prefect of the supreme court of the apostolic signature, was named patron of the Sovereign Order of Malta at only 66 years of age.Since June last June the American cardinal, one of the most men of the critical alignment with the line of the current pontificate, also ceased in this role that in reality he did not longer play de facto since 2017, when the Pope appointed the then Monsignor Giovanni Angelo Becciu as his special delegate.
Last, powerful substitute for the Secretariat of the State, created cardinal and then named prefect of the congregation of the cause of saints, is another of the great "purged" of this pontificate.On September 24, 2020, after a very tough hearing in which the Pope told the Sardinian cardinal that he had no longer confidence in him because the office of the promoter of justice had informed him of possible acts of embezzlement of funds committed by him, Becciu lost his position as prefect and also the rights related to the cardinalate.Even so, his name remains off the list of cardinals who will participate in a possible conclave despite being under 80 years old and being accused in a criminal trial in the Vatican.
Another famous "purged" is Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Moller, predecessor of Ladaria and Fernández at the head of the Doctrine of the Faith, who lost his position after five years in office, as it was not renewed.Moller has been waiting for a new job for six years.

How many Bishops did Benedict or John Paul II remove in 10 years of theirpontificate?
I gave up reading after about the fourth sentence. This isn’t even written in coherent English.
Google Translate often produces choppy results.
Here I was thinking it was written by some dude in Bangladesh who speaks and writes English as his fifth language. LOL.
“He’s been 16 less than a year later” should read “He would die less than a year later.”
It’s a machine translation.
God is judging us through this heretic apostate pope.
Trying to get rid of everyone who’s Catholic, I suppose.
Yeah ...
I think it was originally written in Italian. The cadence of words feels like a “Romance Language”.
I think He might be chastising 'us' for so blandly accepting the "Spirit of Vatican II".
