Bp. Joseph Strickland: ‘You are challenging the Deposit of Faith that I promised to defend’
TYLER, Texas (ChurchMilitant.com) – A Texas bishop is denouncing Fr. James Martin, S.J. for dissenting with Scripture on homosexuality.
“I know you have lots of support but you are challenging the Deposit of Faith that I promised to defend,” tweeted Bp. Joseph Strickland of the diocese of Tyler on Wednesday. “As a bishop I’ll keep defending it.”
The bishop’s remarks came in response to a tweet by the celebrity Jesuit questioning the inerrancy of Scripture.

As a bishop I’ll keep defending it. https://twitter.com/jamesmartinsj/status/1187090285332967424 …
