BALTIMORE, Maryland (LifeSiteNews) – Faithful Catholics were joined by Tyler’s Bishop Joseph Strickland during the U.S. bishops fall meeting recently, as they gathered in the city to prayerfully protest against the “scandal” of the bishops not protecting the “integrity of Church teaching on worthy reception of the Eucharist.”
While the United Sates Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) gathered in Baltimore November 15 through 18, for their first in-person meeting since the outset of the COVID-era, numerous faithful Catholics also gathered in the city to voice their concerns to the bishops.
.....
The group’s protest dealt with “the potential for scandal from the Bishops for failing to protect the integrity of Church teaching on worthy reception of the Eucharist.”
The subject of much debate, the USCCB’s document on the Eucharist was met by visible dissent during June’s public sessions, as certain bishops and cardinals were concerned that the document might contain the Catholic Church’s teaching prohibiting those who “obstinately” persevere “in manifest grave sin are not to be admitted to Holy Communion.”

Bishop Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas, was a lone voice in the conference hall, calling for bishops to “evangelize all the politicians.”

As previously, Strickland was the only bishop who came out to pray with the gathered laity, joining them to pray the rosary.
As is his custom, he said the Rosary on his knees, and then imparted a blessing on each participant.

I am surprised Bishop Strickland hasn’t been silenced. He has been an outspoken defender of Catholic teaching.
I love this bishop!!
He speaks God’s TRUTH.
