By Father Raymond J. de Souza, National Catholic Register - Four months ago he dismissed complaints as “calumny,” saying he had seen no evidence. Now, having belatedly seen the evidence, the entire Chilean episcopate has been temporarily downgraded, and even the Holy Father’s priority for synodality and collegiality has been set aside...

They object when She is challenging or points to the demands of the gospel.
