Comment: Oh, Michael.  The dubia, for example, was reserved as private until the time had passed to make it public, failing Francis' attention.  There is no evidence that Sarah was acting in defiance of Francis, open or otherwise.  His interpretation of the directive was in error, something that should have been cleared up long before his thoughts were made public, but you are attributing intent where you lack any evidence that malice existed.
We can agree, however, that perhaps Sarah should resign, though, likely, for differing reasons.
