The inevitable occurred last weekend when Pope Francis ousted Bishop Joseph Strickland from his Diocese of Tyler, Texas for reasons not yet provided, after “an exhaustive inquiry into all aspects of the governance and leadership of the diocese” was initiated back in June.
(snip)It just so happens that Strickland received the June 24 “apostolic visitation” days after he returned from leading a prayer procession in response to the honoring of a blasphemous, anti-Catholic hate group, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, on the Dodgers’ 10th annual “Pride Night,” a date which coincided with the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The Vatican’s timing in all of this was,

I cannot remember a divisive pope in my lifetime. Except for Francis, all the popes I’ve experienced were careful to guide the flock as one. The fact that this pope is taking a play out of Obama’s playbook is more than disturbing. He is sanctimonious, petty, vengeful, with an alarming determination to destroy the institution he has been installed to lead. May God give us strength and guidance.

No Money in my "Peter's Pence" envelope for the Pope's special charities for this anti-Christ communist.

The College of Cardinals must be equally corrupt. Francis is just another pontiff who is out of touch with the flock. Ted Kennedy should have held off from dying until this current pope took the chair. I am sure Francis would have absolved all of Kennedy's sins and Francis gladly would have been compensated in the form of payment by indulgences.

The BabylonBee got Truth with humor when it headlined that the Pope fired the Bishop for being too Catholic.

the (e)stablishment Catholic church, the one in Rome, is nothing but a giant corporation with its only intent is to accumulate more and more power on the back of the many religious Catholics throughout the world
- it is not worth the powder to blow it to Hell and needs radical re-construction to preserve what the "church" was many years ago
- back when Father Francis Foley used to rail at us at Sunday Mass at St. Francis of Assisi in Medford, MA, and ... guess what ... the church was full with Standing Room Only

The Vatican's "new agenda" is just the old communist agenda.

The current pope is almost 87 years old. He seems to be rushing to implement his agenda before it's too late.

When this Pope leaves by death , what are the chances we get a real Pope, with the same College of Cardinals that elected this one?

The obese Pope Frankie wears such a tent like robe all the time in order to hide his tail and cloven hooves. His horns have to be constantly clipped close to his head in order to hide them. Shouldn't we refer to him as Pope Beelzebub?

Strickland has been my Bishop and a friend for almost 40 years here in Tyler, Texas. Faithful and without pretentiousness as many higher clerics appear to become and true to his simple roots of rural East Texas. The battle between forces of Modernism and being true to Orthodox Catholicism has been raging for a very long time and continues despite the encyclical of Pope Pius X in 1907. Strickland is merely the most recent victim of this heresy. While I am confident God will win in the end, we will not see the end of this battle until Christ himself returns and Francis' appointments of most of the Cardinals who will vote to replace him probably means his successor will be of like (ill) mindedness.

Lord, have mercy. This makes Bp. Strickland's removal seem like an unprovoked act of political intrigue. Didn't Strickland declare, without ambiguity or nuance, that Francis has changed the deposit of the faith? That would amount to an open challenge of his legitimacy.
I'm just glad I don't have either man's responsibility / authority. I'm sure I'd screw it up even worse. (Although, in a spirit of fairness, I know I wouldn't have elevated McElroy to red hat status.)

Yes, #9, with American examples of Protestant piety that stretch from Cotton Mather down to the Jims: Bakker/Swaggart/Jones (not to mention the Ted Haggards and the Tony Alamos and the Warren Jeffs and the Fred Phelps, etc…), Martin Luther certainly ushered in an era of sinless men to lead the faithful.
Thank God for you righteous Protestants.

There is some weird stuff going on at the Vatican. The pope recently came out hard against all Freemasonry!!
In Revelation 17:12-18 we are told about a division between two evil forces. The ten kings, the antichrist, the FALSE PROPHET and Satan are on one side; and mystery Babylon on the other.
Mystery Babylon will be going down. My guess is that freemasonry, World Economic Forum, WHO, Gates, Soros are in the group to be taken down by the Antichrist, who will seem to be a good guy with a peace plan.

It's more than just a crack. Thanks to Pope Frank, the Catholic Church is losing members faster than a leaking bucket of water that has been hit with a 12 gauge Turkey load at ten yards. It may recover after the next Pope is elected but not if it's another Communist Homosexual Liberal.

As a protestant, I stand with my Catholic brethren. My first experience with Christian fellowship was in the 1970s with Catholic Charismatics and they were the most loving, bible believing, devoted to Christ, Christians. Traditional Catholics, you are in our daily prayers. If you're not being attacked by the FBI/DOJ for being traditional Latin Mass proponents, now you're being attacked by the Pope.

It looks like pope Francis has decided the biblical text can migrate to whatever man wants. There is no solid truth there. It could mean the end of the Catholic Church as we know it.

A Jesuit Marxist as the leader of the Church ignores the teaching of Christ. I do not recognize this man as anything but a communist disciple.
