One can claim that the Church takes its time to reform, but isn't that just making excuses for human failures and weaknesses? How many souls are imperiled because those who are supposed to lead and shepherd are slow to act? Replacing bishops does take time, in accordance with the current model for the Roman rite/Western patriarchate. What if we were to have an alternative mode of church government in which bishops of a metropolitan area could recommend that a bishop be replaced because he was not suited to the task? Have we finally hit the limits of the top-heavy model?
