Back two years ago, he issued a declaration trying to shut down the Latin Mass, on the grounds that it was too conservative and traditional. He knew he couldn't just ban it outright, so he said that priests had to have the explicit permission of their local bishops to say Mass in Latin. My local bishop, and various others in other places, responded by issuing explicit permission to every priest in their dioceses, whether previously interested in saying Mass in Latin or not, and as a result, the Pope has had to back off, and Latin Mass attendance has gone up. It's a good sign that a bunch of local bishops are fighting back on this nonsense.
This is why I'm an anti-theist though. This kind of institutional maneuvering shouldn't apply when you are discussing something about the final arbiter of morality.
I understand why a Bishop can't formally tell the pope to ESAD, BUT I really do believe that this response is appropriate.
The pope is not infallible. At a certain point, it is obvious that someone in the church is an enemy of God and should be punished as such. The hierarchy of their position is irrelevant when they are an apostate.
