WHEN WILL WE HEAR FROM BISHOP STRICKLAND, WHY IS HE SILENT?: Bishop Strickland’s shocking complicity and participation in this debacle is what was so enormously disappointing. I would never have believed it of him. That he allowed himself to be debased and his good name and sterling reputation to be used so diabolically as an instrument of division and disruption is unspeakably disconcerting. I pray he has repented for his unwholesome, uncharitable and unwise words and actions, and has apologized OPENLY to John Henry for the treachery of his back-stabbing betrayal. If he has not already done so, he needs to openly and publicly humble himself and apologize to John Henry and to all of LifeSite News and its worldwide constituency, along with others of the Faithful whose trust he utterly betrayed and painfully abused. Otherwise, he will be regarded as nothing but a “do as I say, but not as I do” hypocrite like so many others among his brother-Bishops. He, wittingly or unwittingly, partnered with those who sought to publicly LYNCH a good and faithful Catholic brother and layman, whose life and service has been devoted to the promotion and promulgation of Catholic truth, and the brave and courageous defense of the perennial Deposit of Faith. Bishop Strickland acted, spoke and participated in a manner not unlike what was done to him by the Vatican when they summarily and abruptly removed him as Ordinary of the Diocese in Tyler, Texas, which they carried out by working in cahoots with disgruntled modernist Priests in the Diocese who opposed the Bishop and clandestinely brought false and unprovable allegations against him and his episcopal leadership in closed-door, backroom meetings. The conspiratorial evil that was done to Bishop Strickland is the same exact evil that he himself helped to mete out to John Henry, who, like the good Bishop, was unworthy of it. Such treacherous deeds and words as the Bishop displayed during this whole sad scenario are beneath his character as a Shepherd of Holy Mother Church and revealed an astounding lack of wisdom, discretion, discernment and integrity on his part. Hopefully he learned a very painful — but essential — lesson from this, and has set a course for a 180-degree turn about, fully renouncing and abandoning the satanic pathway of chaos and destruction to those who are given over to such things. He shall remain in my most fervent prayers.
(LifeSiteNews) — Dear Friends, Let’s begin, as we always do, with the Sign of the Cross… I’m so glad to be back with you and speaking to you again as the CEO and Editor-in-Chief of LifeSiteNews. The past few weeks have been a rollercoaster—for all of us—and especially for those of you who’ve put your trust in LifeSiteNews. I’d like to take a few minutes to explain what’s been happening, as much as I’m able to, without interfering with the internal investigation currently underway. As many of you know, on July 2nd, in the context of a LifeSiteNews Board of Directors meeting, several members of the Board supported my removal as CEO and from the Board of Directors. I was blindsided and afforded no opportunity to defend myself from a premeditated effort that involved a series of false accusations and misleading assertions. False testimony and distorted statistics were used to sway a slim majority of the Board of Directors against me. By July 16th, by the grace of God, the chairman of …
