Strickland: Francis' Vatican Is Destroying the Faith
The tendency for the Church to be dominated by the world has been gaining momentum for more than a century, wrote Monsignor Joseph Strickland, 65, the unjustly deposed bishop of Tyler, Texas, in an April 19 letter.
"Whether in liturgy, doctrine, or the simple everyday piety of Catholics, too many prelates and powerful forces in the Vatican are doing their best to dismantle any vestige of supernatural faith."
After decades of decline, Strickland is now witnessing a "crescendo of apostasy". He did not name the "many prelates" and "powerful forces in the Vatican" because everyone knows who he meant.
