That's exactly where I figured you go. What you call berating I call challenging. You seem to have no problem with the cardinals you named publicly throwing down the gauntlet to the pope, but if he dares stand up for himself, he's publicly humiliating them? Utter nonsense.

And in every one of your examples (Knights of Malta, Friars of the Immaculate, etc.) you oversimplify a complex situation in order to make Francis appear to be an unfeeling villain. The plain fact is that you don't care for how those situations were resolved, but in every case they were handled by the book and with ample opportunity for self-correction before the hammer fell.
