Does anyone see why Rook to g2 is not mate?

I found what I was missing. Rg2+ is a check by the bishop and therefore the white rook can stop the check by taking the bishop on f2. Now I feel silly that I didn't see that!

Thanks for trying to help me everyone!
There is a reason why a double-check is considered „stronger“, generally speaking.
