ST. LOUIS, Nov. 11, 2023 /Christian
Newswire/ -- Jere Palazzolo, the president of Catholic Healthcare
International, and Dr. George Mychaskiw, president of the Saint Padre Pio
Institute for the Relief of Suffering, today issued the following statement
regarding the removal of Joseph Strickland as Bishop of the Diocese of Tyler,
Texas:
Catholic Healthcare International and the Saint Padre Pio
Institute for the Relief of Suffering, strongly and unequivocally condemn
the removal of our brother, Joseph Strickland, as Bishop of the Diocese of
Tyler, Texas.
Bishop Strickland is a true guardian of the Deposit of Faith in the Catholic
Church and follows in the footsteps of the Lord Jesus Christ in bringing
people to salvation. The Deposit of Faith and the fundamental pillars of the
Catholic Church are faithful, true and unchanging. They cannot and will not
be modified to suit the trends of a popular, self-absorbed and sinful
culture. True love is not in feel-good platitudes and vague notions of
synodality, but rather in guiding the sinner to repentance and salvation.
This is seldom easy and often uncomfortable, but such is the nature of
repentance and salvation.
The path to damnation is easy and comfortable, the way of salvation is
necessarily difficult and arduous. Our brother Joseph is a true shepherd in
guiding us on that way and should be celebrated, rather than cast aside. We
stand with Bishop Strickland and pray for him and the Holy Catholic Church.
"But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach {to you} a gospel
other than the one that we preached to you, let that one be accursed! As we
have said before, and now I say again, if anyone preaches to you a gospel
other than the one that you received, let that one be accursed!" (Gal 1:6-9)
