It’s a pretty accurate descriptor of some catholic leaders unfortunately, including some who were outspoken and trying to whip up their followers with lies about the 2020 election.
I am glad the Vatican is trying to clean house a bit though. Some of the people being removed by Francis are those in the articles above, like Strickland.
I understand some clerics did back Trump. It just seemed a bit weird to use this as the main qualifier here. But your point about some of them being removed stands, fair enough.

Totally get you. And he’s certainly taken many anti corruption actions that have nothing to do with Trump or America too.
