Leo XIV Authorises Bishops to Dismiss Monastic Superiors

In a Rescriptum ex Audientia Sanctissimi approved on March 25 and published on May 28, Leo XIV introduced a new procedural faculty concerning the governance of religious institutes and monasteries.
The measure grants the Vatican Congregation for Religious the authority to permit a diocesan bishop to dismiss the superior of a monastery under canon 699 §2 of the Code of Canon Law.
The Dicastery is led by Sister Simona Brambilla, Prefect, and Sister Tiziana Merletti, Secretary.
The rescript is signed by Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Secretary of State. It also notes that Pope Francis had previously expressed support for this approach.

Is there still anyone who doubts that the conciliar-synodal church is NOT the Catholic Church?

It's a way for the Vatican to shift the blame for cancelling an order.
