He is accused of an "authoritarian government" - which cannot be a crime, since Francis does the same. After a June 2022 visitation, Cardinal Ouellet asked Ravel in October to go.
Ravel promised to do so, but changed his mind. He was then summoned by Cardinal Parolin but never went, citing health reasons.
In Strasbourg and Metz, two dioceses that used to belong to Germany, the French president appoints and dismisses the bishop. So, the Vatican has come up with a trick. They plan to transfer Ravel to a titular diocese, which doesn't require Macron's approval.
La-Croix, a Bergoglio propaganda outlet, claims that Ravel is practising a "policy of scorched earth" - while he is simply following the ideology of Vatican II and Francis, whose gods are "collegiality" and "synodality." Francis cannot dismiss a bishop as if he were his altar boy if he does not want to lose the last vestige of his credibility.
