Der Bischof der texanischen Diözese Tyler, Joseph Strickland, ist durch den Vatikan seines Amtes enthoben worden.
Die Diözese ist mit nur 122.000 Katholik*innen nicht bedeutend. Mediale Aufmerksamkeit gibt es nur, weil eine Amtsenthebung sehr selten ist und Strickland den Papst extrem stark kritisiert hat.
Der Grund für die Amtsenthebung ist nicht bekannt - es hatte vor wenigen Monaten aber eine Untersuchung in das Finanzgebahren der Diözese gegeben.

5. Dared Pope Francis to fire him.
6. Used his social media platform to spread anti-vaccine messages during the pandemic.
7. Abruptly laid off key female employees in his diocese in 2018.
8. Repeatedly conflated "Jesus and his church" with "this nation," as if the United States is somehow joined together with "Jesus and his church."
And some people are surprised that — at long last — he's been removed from office?
The just-fired Catholic bishop of Tyler, Texas, Joseph Strickland
1. Endorsed a video calling Pope Francis a "diabolically disoriented clown."
2. Rejected attempts to make the Catholic church more welcoming to LGBTQ people.
3. Endorsed a video in which renegade priest James Altman stated, "You cannot be a Democrat and a Catholic."
4. Stated that President Biden, a practicing Catholic, is an "evil president."
The Vatican announced Nov. 11 that Pope Francis had effectively fired Texas Bishop Joseph Strickland, a firebrand prelate who called synodality "garbage" and endorsed a video that attacked Francis as a "diabolically disoriented clown."

Pope Francis has removed from office the bishop of Tyler, Texas. Bishop Joseph Strickland is a conservative who is active on social media and has been a fierce critic of the pontiff and some of his priorities. A one-line statement from the Vatican says Francis has “relieved” Strickland of the pastoral governance of Tyler and appointed the bishop of Austin as the temporary administrator. Strickland has emerged as a critic of Francis, in particular of his recent meeting on the future of the Catholic Church. Earlier this year, the Vatican sent in investigators to look into Strickland's governance of the diocese, amid reports he was making doctrinally unorthodox claims.
