All Praise,Honor and Glory is Our Lord’s,Jesus Christ !! Thank you Bishop Strickland for an AWESOME testimony of our present moment. May our prayers, joined with yours , seek reparation for all outrages, blasphemies, and sacrilegious conduct that may injure His Most Sacred Heart. May Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart triumph.
Thank you for having had the courage to speak the Truth of Our Lord Jesus Christ! Go on! The militant church is with you. We will never stop proclaimiing the Truth of our Faith!
This apostacy, this demonic smoke is in the Vatican, in our churches trying to lead us away from Jesus. We will stand with the Truth of our Faith never leaning into compromize.
You are not alone! Many of us pray in silence and offer sacrifice to combat this evil with the Queen of peace. She, our most dear Blessed Mother will guide us to Jesus and his trionph.
This Sunday morning I opened your missive (stack). BAM. An explosion of LIGHT and TRUTH. Oh, my. I was rocked. Moved. Dropped to my knees. Thank you for your profession of faith, your guidance, in this time when the darkness washes over us regularly like storms off the Texas plains. Just this week I watched a You Tube video in which Deacon Keith spoke of his time working alongside your Excellency. So inspiring... and it should have prepared me for your message this morning, but I was nonetheless caught breathless. BLESS YOU for the loving touch of your ministry.
Excellency, thank you from every corner of my troubled heart. I have been praying the Rosary for you for days now. You anticipated the poetry of succor and salvation our hearts so desperately yearned to hear — how to navigate such weaponized darkness.
4For though I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils, for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they have comforted me.
Thank you dear Bishop Strickland for sending us again and again on the roads of our precious responsibility we have to claim the Truth where we live. Today, urgently and always today. Elisabeth Lombardi from Baltimore
Bishop Strickland, in this world of chaos and open evil, you are a voice of Truth crying in the wilderness. May God Bless and protect you so your message may reach the hearts of the faithful and of the lost.
Thank you. Please note, the traditional orders of vowed women are growing faster than they can keep up with. Please remember the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles and all orders in your prayers.
If we want things to change, we may may want to look at the elephant in the room. Prevost’s election may have been invalid because the cardinals violated Pope JPII papal law on elections Universi Dominici Gregis by having 133 cardinals voting when the maximum allowed is 120 and also because they elected a candidate who had made statements against catholic doctrine (Fiducia Supplicans, Amoris Laetitia etc), contrary to Pope Paul IV’s Bull Cum ex Apostolatus Oficio. Because that a man is pope is not a presumption of fact but a conclusion of the law, and the law was not followed in the election of May 8th, 2025. Jesus himself confirms the juridical nature of the Church when he tells St Peter in Matthew 18:18 “Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heave, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heave.”
Since the cardinals failed in their duty to elect a Catholic pope, according to the Pope Nicolas II’s Bull In Nome Domine, in cases where the election is not pure, sincere and free, the faithful of Rome have the right to assemble and elect a Catholic pope.
Juan factually you are probably on solid ground. The moment in which we live is one plagued by supreme lawlessness and lies. The lawless one and father of lies is at his zenith. Couple this with what appears to be a wheat and tares situation and there is no human solution.
Prayers and sincere repentance of all our sin and praying that the chastisement that we deserve is measured and open to great mercy.
Thanks Mike. Our Lady at La Salette said that Rome would become the seat of the AntiChrist. So it is important to recognize the juridical nature of the Church since true Church is juridical while the AntiChurch is above the law.
Right, but what is he advocating with his public statements? Are there any actions we can take, apart from prayer and penance? If not, I think there is something wrong with what he is doing.
Totally agree Juan. Bishop Strickland gave me a great blessing when on June 24, 2022 he looked down into my eyes and told me, "Mike, we are on the same team."
If you study the history on the rules for the number of electors, you will find it is not absolute about the number of electors. Please, let us not begin again to divide the Church on this point.
Your reference is bias. You should look at the history of the College of Cardinals and the number of electors under the different popes. The actual number of electors is decided by the seated pope.
The number of cardinal electors as defined in UDG is not dependent on the number of cardinals of voting age. A pope can create more cardinals than can vote, but it is up to the college of cardinals to make sure they follow the law to ensure the election is not null and void as is in the section Promulgation:
"As determined above, … I declare completely null and void anything done by any person, whatever his authority, knowingly or unknowingly, in any way contrary to this Constitution."
2) My previous comment argues against the point made by Cathy Caridi in the article you share. Being a cardinal does not guarantee that one can vote. If there are more cardinals than the 120 maximum permited then the number that surpass the maximum permitted need to recuse themselves from voting or the cardinals need to agree to a way to exclude the extra electors (by lots, etc). Furthermore, the cardinals did not have the authority to change the law. This could only be done by a reigning pope and Pope Francis never dispensed of any part of the law before his death. So the maximum limit of cardinal electors remains 120.
I’ve always admired you for your courage, dear Bishop, but equally am grateful for you the way you articulate what needs to be done and how it should be done for us to overcome this evil pervading our world. May we have the courage of Joan of Arc and our other brave Saints who knew it was upon them to fight the good fight. God bless you, Bishop Strickland!
This a great commentary. Thank you for being so clear in this never-ending cycle of obfuscation and chaos, as you rightly noted. These guys think they are winning. They aren't. We will fight them. We can love them but we don't have to accept their BS.
Wonderful words, thank you for highlighting our situation so clearly. We pray for the Lord to straighten our path and light it so we can see our way. God bless all the faithful in their fight. St Michael pray for us.

Thank you Bishop Strickland - truth and goodness, wrapped in beauty of the faith.

Thanks Bishop you always provide a life jacket when it’s most needed! Adoration Fasting and the Rosary. 👍
May the Sacred Heart ♥️ of Jesus and the Immaculate and Sorrowful Heart hold you in their Love, dear, faithful Bishop!

Jesus did not institute cardinals - they are a human invention
He did not preside over the election of any apostle, He just chose them Himself when He was alive and once when He appeared to Saul (Paul)
Rules about procedures and conditions of office are just ad hoc and carry not the slightest supernatural weight
If you study the history on the rules for the number of electors, you will find it is not absolute about the number of electors. Please, let us not begin again to divide the Church on this point.
It is absolute. UDG is explicit on this.

Your post La ka context.
1. The author of your original reference is not a brother of any order.

2. The number of electors in the election of Pope Leo XIV is valid.

1) He is a fransiscan friar of private vows. Here is his rebuttle to the issues Fr Matthew Schneider has with Br Bugnolo.

It’s not about winning. It’s about clarity, standing for Truth Incarnate, in order to bring His people together and ensure peace in the world. L.V.I.
Pope Leo XIV took some steps in the first days of his Pontificate to set straight the course from which Pope Francis had strayed.
There is much more to be done. It will take time and careful attention in order to unify to the Church.
We must continue our prayers for Pope Leo XIV.
Pax vobiscum.
Our Father, Bishop Strickland, thank you!
Most Catholics do not have a clue of what is going on in the church.
Wonderful words, thank you for highlighting our situation so clearly. We pray for the Lord to straighten our path and light it so we can see our way. God bless all the faithful in their fight. St Michael pray for us.
