Joseph Strickland, 65, the Bishop of Tyler, Texas, has
just been removed from office by Pope Francis. A primary cause of
friction was the fact that the Pope seems to be ready to welcome LGBTQ
people into the church and Strickland is vehemently opposed to any such
move. Popes don't like it when their underlings challenge them in
matters of the faith, in which they are supposed to be moved by the holy
spirit and therefor infallible.
Bishops are hardly ever thrown out. They are sometimes forced to resign or retired at age 75, but hardly ever thrown out.
Strickland asserted that it was a "travesty" that the taking of LGBTQ people into the church was even being discussed.

Never met a boss that liked criticism, Pope's no different
