But I thought the ex-consiliar, muckraker Archbishop was in hiding for the safety of his life?

Incred,  it turns out that he did not go to Rome after all.

Did he even bother to send a representative?  It doesn't sound like it, since he has concluded that they've already made a decision.  Reminds me a bit about why Father Feeney didn't go to Rome, because he felt that the decision had already been made.

^^Exactly.

His stated reason was because the summons was uncanonical. The process broke six canons I think, the first being that no charge was stated which alone makes the whole cause null and void per the canon.

You can't just say you feel like the trial would be unjust and ignore a court summons to Rome, you actually need a canonical reason why you don't have to go, the very best of which would be that the summons is uncanonical.
