Harnwell: why “Pope” Francis’s dictatorial tyranny might be the cause of his own downfall

During the clerical sex abuse crisis in the Catholic Church, the Holy See deftly escaped direct criminal liability in US courts — for potentially $hundreds of billions — by arguing, amongst other things, that a pope doesn’t have the power to remove a bishop against his will.

This was necessary to demonstrate that bishops aren’t employees of the Vatican. Many years later and #NotMyPope has just done precisely that by sacking the holy Bishop Strickland.

Given that the cardinals are as venal as Francis is, if confronted with the choice of either deposing him (his many heresies would be the technical means) or now having the Holy See’s assets liquidated — my bet is he would be toast.
