I was surprised that he would not be considered pastoral

Then you haven't learnt to decipher newspeak. "Pastoral" describes a bishop or priest who "listens" to all the fad-driven, trendy leftists, and supports "reproductive rights", "birth-control", priestesses, liturgical experimentation, barren churches, "inclusive" language, re-interpretation of Scripture, etc. To be orthodox is to be unpastoral. To be pastoral is to tolerate heresy, if not to be an outright heretic oneself.
