It really does make you wonder what planet the pontiff inhabits, so to speak…
Key Question…
Why are the bishops not speaking out? Even those regarded as orthodox and traditional-leaning, appear to be enveloped in a bubble of silence. Why? Don’t they realise that one day, perhaps soon, they will be called to account for their complicit silence?

Aliens are Freemasonic diabolical inventions that serve as a distraction from the True Faith of Jesus Christ.
"Aliens" are another topic.
The Catholic Church hierarchy has been infiltrated by the Freemasons.
That is why the bishops remain silent.
"Don’t they realise that one day, perhaps soon, they will be called to account for their complicit silence?"
It seems to me you're asking a question from the standpoint of someone who has faith. As such, you appear to presume that the bishops* (to whom you refer as those not speaking out) have the same faith that you do. I beg to differ. If the bishops had faith they wouldn't be speaking the way they do. Listen to
the sermons of Fr. Pfeiffer. If the bishops had faith, they would sound like Fr. Joseph Pfeiffer, or Fr. Fernando Altamira, or Fr. Patrick Girouard, or Fr. Nicolai Pinaud.
But they don't sound like that, and the reason is, they have lost the Faith.
As such, they most likely don't bother to think about being called to account for their complicit silence at their particular judgment, because, simply, they don't believe they will be so called, nor do they believe that there will be any particular judgment.
About a thousand years ago, a pope began to preach that when a man dies, he doesn't face any judgment, but rather his soul hangs out in a kind of leisure world or copa cabana for the duration of the world, a sort of mockery of Limbo. A holy saint spent much time at his bedside speaking to him, urging him to abjure his error, and he did so abjure before he died.
But his error, although abjured a millennium ago, has not disappeared, but rather it has spread. There are more flavors and variations in the denial of the Faith than any one of us can imagine, but although they are LEGION, they are alike, in that they are all the denial of the truth.
While I don't disagree that Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ has spread like a cancer in the hierarchy of Holy Mother Church, accelerated ever since the accession of one of their own to the papacy in 1958 (John XXIII), by which means Freemasonic principles and 'friends' multiplied in the Curia and among the bishops, even so, you don't have to be a Freemason to be in accord with their agenda.
The Freemasonic agenda is the loss of faith, and the acquiring of atheistic materialism to take its place, most prominently found in atheistic Communism (or socialism, which is the same thing), which Pope Pius XI called, "the satanic scourge of the Church."
*P.S. Those bishops to whom you refer can't include +W, for example, because he does speak out, at least, insofar as he dares. (H.E. could be cast into prison if he were to really say what he thinks, so then how much 'preaching' could he do in prison?)
