Pope forcibly removes leading US conservative, Texas bishop Strickland
Saturday, 11 November 2023 Pope Francis has removed Bishop Joseph Strickland from his position as the bishop of Tyler, Texas. Strickland, known for his conservative views and criticism of the pope, has been a vocal opponent of some of Francis' priorities, including LGBTQ+ rights. The Vatican had previously sent investigators to look into Strickland's governance of the diocese, but the findings have not been released. It is rare for a pope to forcibly remove a bishop, as bishops are generally expected to offer their resignation at the age of 75.
