Monsignor Joseph Strickland, 66, the former Bishop of Tyler, Texas,
launched a weekly video show on social media called "A Shepherd's Voice"
on 13 January.
In the first episode, he pronounces the truism
that we have "a really bad situation" in the Church: "Some of the
shepherds have shown themselves to be either incompetent or dishonest."
Truth is being pushed aside and even "the Holy Father himself" is spreading the falsehood that all religions are ways to God.
He
recalls that "we [= the generation before Vatican II] have been brought
up with the idea that the Holy Father and all those in the Church
hierarchy will never lead us astray".
However, the official
teachings of the Church are not to be confused with the individual
opinions of even popes, says Bishop Strickland : "They can and do
contain error.”
"A great travesty has taken place. Most bishops
are cowardly hirelings, or worse, wolves, actively endangering the sheep
and leading them away from Christ".
Commenting on the pagan idol
Pachamama, Bishop Strickland said that the reference to a pagan god was
made at the Vatican during the Amazon Synod: "This is a violation of
the first commandment and an abomination before God."
And: "The line between Catholicism and paganism is being blurred."
Monsignor
Strickland adds other failures of Francis, such as his ambiguous
statements, for instance, on whether non-Christians need Christ to
achieve salvation, or his acceptance of a statue of Martin Luther in the
Vatican.
