Strickland: Francis' Vatican Is Destroying the Faith

The tendency for the Church to be dominated by the world has been gaining momentum for more than a century, wrote Monsignor Joseph Strickland, 65, the unjustly deposed bishop of Tyler, Texas, in an April 19 letter.

"Whether in liturgy, doctrine, or the simple everyday piety of Catholics, too many prelates and powerful forces in the Vatican are doing their best to dismantle any vestige of supernatural faith."

After decades of decline, Strickland is now witnessing a "crescendo of apostasy". He did not name the "many prelates" and "powerful forces in the Vatican" because everyone knows who he meant.

Better late than ...never? Bishop Strickland should just get some real courage to say it out loud, that what resides in the Vatican... are NOT CATHOLICS! Now, if he could just 'admit' that as he sees it.... no real 'pope' could ever do what this man dressed in (dreary) white is doing... that would be the 'evangelical' miraculous trend......!

Bishop Strickland was perhaps the only U.S. Bishop who had the integrity and the courage to sign a document asking Pope Francis to rescind the Fiducia Supplicans, directing priests to bless homosexual couples and other people in sinful relationships. He was defending the Church and her flock.

Unjustly deposed? Bishop Strickland made severe public criticisms of Francis, and Francis had every right to depose him. Now, Strickland's criticisms were accurate, but how can he expect Francis (whom I regard as an antipope) to act any differently?

And then he writes "Whether in liturgy, doctrine, or the simple everyday piety of Catholics, too many prelates and powerful forces in the Vatican are doing their best to dismantle any vestige of supernatural faith," he is really condemning the Church since Vatican II and Vatican II itself. Step back a few decades, Bishop Strickland.

Unjustly deposed? Since 1888, Texas has been an at-will employment state. As an at-will state, employment in Texas may be terminated by an employer or an employee for a good reason, a bad reason, or simply no reason at all, absent a specific agreement to the contrary.
