I am so disappointed in the many Catholics who refuse to validate what Francis promises and  believe that when Francis says something they believe it is an action completed.  
There are many of these people that still brag about the tribunal that the pope created to punish bishops 3 years ago. They do not know that it was scrapped after a year because he could not get it started. 
The same people are not aware that he has not punished even one bishop and like you said he has promoted several complicit clerics and has even elevated three with horrible records on complicity to his prominent council of nine cardinals to advise him on leading this church.

Francis will never punish his fellow bishops he will protect them and promote them and continue his talk with no action which is nothing but a delay tactic. 

How sad!
