Bp. Strickland should steadfastly refuse to depart the office, and he should cite canon law and demand the pope present an ecclesiastical crime for which he is guilty as the means of his removal. otherwise, he has every right to remain in place, and there isn’t a judge in the US…

@DeanLeh It won’t be long before the crowing of the heretics at NCR turns to the howls and screams of the damned in Hell. They better repent before it is too late.

@LepantoInst Did they physically grab him by the arm and drag him out of the office?

@stjohnneumann No.

@LepantoInst He called the Pope a usurper and embraced Sedevacantism….. “Would you now allow this one who has pushed aside the true Pope and has attempted to sit on a chair that is not his define what the Church is to be.”

@AugustineOfNola Don’t take him out of context. That is a quote from a letter he read aloud to express the thoughts of the faithful scandalized by PF. Those are not HIS words!

@LepantoInst @APRILMARY Many priest of his former diocese paint a very different picture of their former bishop.

@AlanWhelan17 @APRILMARY You mean the National Catholic Reporter and America Magazine reading heretics?

@LepantoInst The pope *is* the lawmaker for the Catholic Church. The "provision of law" is, he's the pope. Come on, now; this is basic stuff.

@IndieGameLawyer The pope has the authority to change Canon Law, but he is subject to the same law as written.

@LepantoInst The pope has right to exercise his power unhindered lol He's supreme legislator

@Emma506131772 Really? The pope is a dictator who has the authority to exercise unlimited power without due process?

@LepantoInst Has Pope Francis provided a reason yet? I think everyone is expecting to hear a well-formed reason for this.

@FillaDeMaria We won’t hold our breaths.

@LepantoInst but didn't Msgr. Strickland question the legitimacy of the Pope's election? That in itself seems enough to precipitate a knee-jerk reaction from Francis.

@KnucklesMorony He did not.

@LepantoInst Francis reveals his nature with every action he takes.

@LepantoInst Worst pope ever.

@LepantoInst How often would you expect an employee to keep their job if they keep disrespecting their boss?
