The Vatican removed from office Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas — an outspoken, conservative bishop who had openly opposed Pope Francis' reforms and accused the pope of "undermining the deposit of faith".
Strickland was asked to resign on Thursday, which he refused to do, according to Vatican News. Francis later made the decision to remove the bishop and appoint the bishop of Austin, Texas to temporarily oversee Strickland's former diocese.
The move came months after a "visitation" by a committee of U.S. bishops which inquired into Strickland's governance and leadership.
"The recommendation was made to the Holy Father that the continuation in office of Bishop Strickland was not feasible," Cardinal Daniel Nicholas DiNardo, Vice President, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops said in a statement Saturday.
Strickland regularly criticized the pope's work to make Catholicism more inclusive and welcoming to the LGBTQ community and divorced Catholics.
He used social media, his radio program and his pulpit to criticize the pontiff for the nature and tone of a recent month-long meeting at the Vatican that included discussion of women in ministry.

I'm sure this had nothing to do with his embrace of fascism and support for the J6 insurrectionists. /s
it's time to tax the catholic church and all it's US held assets as businesses.
Father Frank has the right idea. Be more welcoming to LGBTQ and divorced Catholics and maybe they will attend mass and throw money in the collection plate
do all tiny dicked catholic celibates become neo-nazis?
I think that's a pre-requisite
Deviate further from the bible? Rather ironic isn't it?
Considering the RCC follows the New Testament and there is no mention in the NT concerning homosexuality or divorce...I don't find it ironic at all
typical mackerel snapper overreach...
they can justify any atrocity they've ever committed.
Please explain Matthew 5:17 then.
" For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished. "
That's one they by-passed. If the RCC truly embraced the OT they would not eat ham, bacon, and shell fish
holy shit. exactly how much religious bullshit is based upon a lack of refrigeration?
Well, Baptists and other holy rollers don't believe that Jesus drank wine. There was no refrigeration back then so they had to turn the grapes into something that would keep. It was either wine or vinegar. I doubt very much they drank vinegar like we drink water
Or be sure to not break any of the 613 biblical commandments .
mackerel snapper
Now that's a term I haven't heard since I was in grade school back in the 50's. Next time try "fish eater or minny (minnow) muncher.
Steckerlfisch (smoked mackerel) is a very popular at German festivals
love, prayer, and forgiveness for all.... ....except them!!!
That MAGA Bishop? She Gone!
Won't be seeing him no more...
thumper got thumped...
