Following a recent visit and several instances of outspoken opposition to the current papacy, the Vatican announced that Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas has been removed from the leadership of his diocese, the Crux website reports today (Nov. 11, 2023).
In a statement today, the Vatican announced that "the Holy Father has relieved Bishop Strickland from the governance of the Diocese of Tyler,"and that he has named Bishop Joe Vasquez of Austin as apostolic administrator until a new bishop is named.
A staunch conservative and papal critic who has all but accused Pope Francis of heresy, Strickland and the Diocese of Tyler were the object of a Vatican apostolic visitation earlier this year.
