Strickland on the Liturgical Crisis | Bishops, Guard What Was Entrusted to You (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Bishop Strickland confronts the central question of episcopal responsibility: "What were we given to guard? And did we guard it?" Drawing on St. Paul's command to Timothy to guard the good deposit, Strickland argues that the dramatic changes to Catholic worship over the past 60 years cannot simply be blamed on "Vatican II." The Council called for reform and greater participation, it did not compose the Mass Catholics experienced afterward. Human decisions transformed the liturgy, and bishops can
Bishop Strickland: Recovering Scripture, Rejecting the "Spirit of Vatican II" (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Bishop Joseph Strickland calls Catholics to recover a deeper knowledge and love of Sacred Scripture, while clarifying what Dei Verbum actually teaches versus what was later done in its name. He rejects the false choice between Scripture and Tradition, emphasizing that the Bible belongs within the Church's living Tradition and teaching authority. The central criticism targets the post-Vatican II period and the influential phrase "the spirit of Vatican II," which Strickland says was sometimes used
Christ Is in the Boat: Recovering Supernatural Faith | Bishop Strickland (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Bishop Joseph Strickland reflects on the ocean, its depths, its mystery, its reminder that what we cannot see is still real.

Read excerpt
The Catholic Church must speak more clearly about traditional teachings on marriage and sexual morality—particularly as confusion surrounding homosexuality and LGBTQ advocacy grows within the hierarchy. Drawing on the biblical account of Sodom and Gomorrah, the speaker argues that Scripture and Catholic teaching have consistently condemned sexual activity outside the union of one man and one woman. Naming grave sins is not hatred—it is concern for souls, like a physician's duty to identify a ser
Bishop Strickland's Urgent Message: He Descended Into Our Weakness – And He's Not Leaving (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this powerful reflection, Bishop Strickland leads a reading of Dei Verbum, the Second Vatican Council's dogmatic constitution on divine revelation, and pauses on a single sentence that stopped him in his tracks: "The marvelous condescension of eternal wisdom is clearly shown" in Sacred Scripture. Strickland explains that God's condescension is not prideful speaking down, it is a loving descent. The eternal God bends low to speak in human words, to enter human history, to take on human flesh.
