Pp Francis To Drop the Hammer on Bp. Strickland?

An apostolic visitation in Tyler, TX?

“America’s Bishop” Joseph Strickland has received an “apostolic visitation” from the Vatican which is speculated to be a response to his outspoken criticism of Church leadership’s more controversial stances and actions, according to a new report.

Strickland, the bishop of Tyler, Texas, who is well known among LifeSite readers for his outspoken defense of Catholic teaching, is currently receiving an “apostolic visitation” from the Vatican’s Dicastery for Bishops conducted by two retired bishops, possibly Bp. Gerald Frederick Kicanus and auxiliary Bp. Dennis Joseph Sullivan, according to a report from Church Militant. Sources say they have been questioning diocese employees for a week.

The subject of the visit is unknown, as is the subsequent fallout, but it’s speculated to concern various public statements that some Vatican officials consider “imprudent.”...

What does Pp. Francis' Vatican consider "imprudent"?

That's the question to which we'd really like an answer.

Shouldn’t the bishops making the intervention visitation of Bishop Strickland by one of his peers? Meaning, fellow faithful bishops?
