The Why of Priesthood Service - general-conference
Hebrews 5:1-14*
When the house Patriarch does not fulfill their duties, especially under the Priesthood--the needs of the household, even the Priesthood, cannot be ignored. No worthy Priesthood holder is in need of manipulation, to serve in their calling. Neither is it righteous, to coerce someone into doing something they are not willing or worthy to do expediently.

Doctrine and Covenants 20:1-84*
More so, it is nothing, under any poster's authority, to supersede the order of His Church, which this matter must be dealt within, if the Patriarch is slothful in their duty or not forthcoming of their worthiness. It is an offense to the child, to delay the blessing he is not simply wanton of, but is prompted to, by the Spirit. The correct order begins with the Bishop, who in righteousness is given special discernment, over such matters. He is the authority, over these matters, as long as he is within his covenant. If he is not in accordance with the teachings of the gospel, we are so charged, to find the next authority, in order of the structure given through the Son of God [in only the most egregious circumstances does this ever occur].
Love,
