Pope Francis Removes Bishop of Texas Town , Who Criticized His Leadership.
On Nov.
11, Bishop Joseph Strickland
was removed from governing the diocese
of Tyler, Texas, 'The Hill' reports.
Bishop Joe VĂĄsquez of Austin was
appointed as a temporary administrator.
Strickland has criticized the
pontiff in recent months, claiming Francis
is "undermining the deposit of faith.".
A few years ago, Strickland reportedly referred
to the church as "weak" and "not clear.".
He also dared Francis to fire him,
according to 'The National Catholic Reporter.'.
The 65-year-old took issue with Francis' openness to discuss the possibility of LGBTQ church members, female deacons and married priests.
He also reportedly condemned vaccines amid the pandemic and asserted that Catholics couldn't vote for Democrats.
The Catholic Diocese of Tyler issued a statement about Strickland's ousting.
During this time of transition,
we pray that God may continue to
abundantly bless and strengthen
the Church and Godâs holy, faithful
people here and around the world, Catholic Diocese of Tyler, Texas, via statement

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg made a surprise appearance at Budapest Pride, turning the annual LGBTQ parade into a loud political statement against Viktor OrbĂĄnâs right-wing government.
Speaking at the march, Thunberg accused the Hungarian leadership of trying to âban loveâ and labeled the event a protest against what she called âfascistâ attacks on human rights. Her presence quickly drew backlash. BalĂĄzs OrbĂĄn, political director to the Prime Minister, took to X (formerly Twitter) to mock Thunberg as a âyoung, angry personâ offering âunsolicited advice,â also referencing her âfailed Gaza activism.â
The event highlights the deepening tensions in Hungary over LGBTQ rights and government control, as critics say OrbĂĄn's policies continue to shrink civil liberties. The government insists it is defending traditional values. Thunbergâs visit further fuels the culture war now at the center of Hungaryâs politics â and one that's drawing international attention.

A massive new tax and spending bill, championed by Donald Trump as his "big, beautiful bill," has cleared major congressional hurdles and is now facing a final, contentious vote. The legislation proposes a sweeping overhaul of the US economy, extending Trump's 2017 tax cuts while significantly boosting defense and energy spending and allocating new funds for border security. This move has ignited a political firestorm in Washington D.C., creating deep divisions not only between parties but within the Republican ranks and even straining Trump's relationship with high-profile supporters like Elon Musk.
The funding for this ambitious bill is at the heart of the controversy. The Republican proposal outlines deep cuts to essential social safety nets, including Medicaid, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and other low-income assistance programs. According to the Congressional Budget Office, these changes could result in nearly 12 million Americans losing their health coverage. The bill also introduces new work requirements for childless, able-bodied adults to receive Medicaid and SNAP benefits.
The financial implications are staggering. The bill is projected to add an estimated $3.3 trillion to the national debt over the next decade, a figure that has caused alarm and division among fiscal conservatives in the GOP. Social Democrats like Bernie Sanders have fiercely condemned the bill, labeling it a "handout to Trumpâs rich allies." In a tense Senate session, Vice President JD Vance had to cast a tie-breaking vote to advance the legislation.
Despite the backlash, the bill contains provisions aimed at working-class voters, such as eliminating federal taxes on tips and overtime pay. However, House Democrats have blasted the legislation as a "reckless, regressive GOP tax scam" ahead of the crucial midterm elections. As the final vote looms, Trump has urged Republican lawmakers to "stay united" and pass the bill, which also includes a provision to raise the debt ceiling by $5 trillion.

Rama Duwajiâartist, activist, and wife of NYC Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdaniâhas stepped into the spotlight after months of silence. The 27-year-old Syrian-American illustrator, known for her pro-Palestinian work, had avoided campaign publicity, sparking controversy and speculation. Critics claimed her art and political stance made her a liability.
But on June 24, as Mamdani celebrated his win, she stood beside himâsilent, composed, present. Born in Texas, raised partly in Dubai, Duwaji's work explores Gaza, race, identity, and dissent. Her pieces have supported Palestinian students and questioned U.S. policies. She and Mamdani met on a dating app, married in a private ceremony, and have since become one of NYCâs most-watched political couples. Now, as Mamdani eyes City Hall, all eyes are on Rama Duwajiâthe woman who may soon be NYCâs first lady.
