I was praying SOMEONE would say what you have said here! Acknowledging the terrible wrongs done, visible change among these unrepentant shepherds, exhibiting true, deep sorrow for the horror of it...doing any less than this makes the efforts by the current leadership hopelessly hollow.
I have heard you say you don't consider yourself a theologian. If only the theologians would be as clear and concise in the pronouncements of our Catholic faith and moral guidelines. We continue to pray for your own intentions and clear guidance for your flock. Thank you.
Our dearest Bishop Strickland, you are a perfect shepherd who tends his flock by the breath of the Holy Spirit. I felt my beloved church may be destroyed under the foot of Satan. There are many Judases in Christ's church but by your very being you show us proof that good and holy men still exist. Stay the course sir, you are the savior of lost souls.
> Perhaps what concerns me most in these days of confusion and betrayal is that I fear time is running out
Time *is* running out; someday I shall die, and it might be very suddenly. Several people my age or younger who were friends or colleagues of mine (and in robust health) have died very suddenly in the past few years. Therefore, regardless of whether the second coming is at hand and with as much urgency as if it was, we ought to follow your advice to pursue holiness, and we ought also to pray for conversions and for repentance (save poor sinners, O Lord, of whom I am foremost) and for the souls in purgatory.
Echo and adding a personal experience: we were recently betrayed without a 30 minute short drive to deliver a message in person, betrayed without a kiss, a hug, or even the wiping of our tears @ Veritatis Splendor by Apostolic Administrators who are supposed to be Shepherds of the Flock but instead are "priests for themselves." ...Betrayed by Wolves in Sheep's clothing who've "cancelled" hundred of faithful Catholics, hundreds of children, who grieve the closure and loss of the Holy Family Chapel and holy men from the Pious House who've graciously saved souls (testify). God have mercy on the wolves in sheep's clothing who've betrayed so many innocent souls in East Texas. Father, forgive them, for they must know not what they do. Scaredy-cats who can't find courage to speak truth for fear they too will be cancelled. Career clerics. Disgusted.
Thank you for being a true Shepherd. I’ve been saying for the last few years the silence of the Shepherds is deafening! The public mission of Jesus should be the salvation of souls not agenda and world idealism. God bless you Bishop Strickland May the Lord continue to uphold and strengthen you as his true apostle. Our Lady Queen of Peace pray for us! 🙏🏻🕊🙏🏻 Lisa from Omaha NE
God has a way of giving little warnings to the world before the big crash comes. Like the recent night in Paris shortly after the opening of the Olympics when all the lights went out and only the Cathedral of the Sacre Coeur was brightly lit and the Cross really stood out. Of course the media only showed it a few times. Then there was the statue of St. Peter in the Holy Fathers' home town which was hit by a bolt of lightning which destroyed the keys and the crown or whatever was on his head. I think it was on the Holy Fathers Birthday. I think its a wonderful grace for us. Thank you Bishop for all your truth which sustains us. Soon and very soon we are going to see the Lord.
Thank you Bishop Strickland. I look forward to meeting you in person at the CIC 🇺🇸 ♥️🇨🇦🙏🏾✨if you are in attendance. Thank you, for fearlessly speaking the truth.

God bless you, Bishop Strickland. Let's pray each day the Rosary for the conversion of sinners and for the healing of the Church.
Bravo! Keep fighting the good fight.

Thank you for speaking as a true shepherd.
The Truth sets us free. Thank you Bishop Strickland.

I didn’t enjoy reading this it isn’t what someone who loves Jesus greatly wants to read but read it I did as I had to.
I was confirmed at Easter 2017 and am thankful to be learning everything in deep dives everyday about Our Holy Catholic Faith 🙏🏾
