There are always clues in language

Irish bishops are 'summoned' to Rome. They will meet 'senior Vatican officials'. "Bishops are good fathers to their priests".

Language tells its own story.

As to the 'senior Vatican officials' simply scary.

Are the bishops being called or summoned?

Bishops are not fathers to their priests. And how can ever such a general term be made. And this comment is reported to come from a Vatican cardinal. This is terrible language and an insult to my father.
