Two for Tuesday! An ebby special!!! First the excommunicated Lefevbre and now the removed Strickland try their hand at schism.
Here’s how: In May 2023, Strickland accused Pope Francis of having a “program of undermining the Deposit of Faith”. And then, Pope Francis then removed Strickland from his post as bishop of Tyler on November 11, 2023.
Let’s see, is there a lesson to be learned from publicly disobeying your Pope, leading sheep astray and violating Catholic norms? Why yes there is. ImagineThat!
Now unlike the good Bishop Strickland, here is a bishop who is in good favor with Francis. So good that Francis made him one his homocardinals.
