If memory serves, Archbishop Chaput was not only Cardinatially robbed, but was also dropped from his pastorship as local ordinary by Bergoglio like a hot brick the minute he (Chaput) turned 75.

The transmission of Christian truth requires prudence and patience because humans are not machines.

Indeed. Preaching and teaching must be done in a way that is comprehensible to its intended recipients.

But it also demands clarity and consistency.

I have heard clear and consistent preaching and teaching from some priests, and a bare handful of bishops. In large measure, though, the preaching and teaching coming out of the Bureaucratic Church has reliably been confusing, ambiguous, verbose but lacking in content, duplicitous, and contradictory. This has been the case most of my life; this sort of confusion is, IMO, the true "Spirit of Vatican II".
