Effective immediately, Francis removed on November 11 Tyler Bishop Joseph Strickland, 65, Texas. No reason has been given for the move against Strickland.
He is one of the foremost defenders of Catholicism in the USA.
The Vatican bulletin just states in one line that the [merciful] “Francis has relieved Bishop Joseph Strickland from the pastoral governance of Tyler Diocese and appointed Austin Bishop Joe Vásquez as the Apostolic Administrator of the vacated diocese.”
The US Nuncio has before asked Strickland to resign but he declined this request.

Bishop Strickland, don't listen to what Francis Bergoglio is saying, you are a Catholic, not a Bergoglian!
Novena - Oremus
This is all Francis has to say: “Bishop Strickland had been formally asked to resign by Pope Francis, in a request that came via the papal nuncio Cardinal Cristophe Pierre. Strickland declined this request, but now – upon the direct order of the Pope – is vacating his diocesan see.”

Please God he makes the right decisions going forward. He could be an important instrument of God for starting the change that is needed to lead many back in the right direction.

Bp Strickland should refuse to leave and Bp Vasquez should refuse to take over as administrator.
