Talk:Joseph Strickland

Why?
The article currently has "In 2021, Pope Francis imposed restrictions on the celebration of the Tridentine Mass." Why is this relevant in the section about Strickland's view? Ordinarius Beau 15:28, 15 April 2023 (UTC)


 * I concur with your concerns about relevancy; I have removed that portion. Maximilian775 (talk) 20:58, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

Why would "Emeritus" be used?
Clearly the term "Emeritus" is a meritorious title associated with one's former position in an organization while still honorably associated with that specific organization. Strickland is still a Bishop of the Church. Yet, there is no indication from the Diocese of Taylor that he is still honorably associated with it. Quite to the contrary, he was relieved of (fired from) his position. There was nothing honorable about it. He is simply a former Bishop of Taylor TX. SoGr82CU2 (talk) 05:05, 12 November 2023 (UTC)


 * We can use "emeritus", if RS use that word. For the time being, I removed it. Other living former office holders (e.g. Barack Obama) simply have their former office stated. Rsk6400 (talk) 07:54, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Obama is not really comparable as "emeritus" is not a term used in reference to Presidents, who after all only hold office for a limited number of years. Obama wasn't "emerited" - his term just expired. A bishopric however is, in principle, given with no limit.
 * OTOH, Strickland was removed from office by "adminsitrative order", not deposed as the result of a legal trial. Given that there is no verdict, he should be treated like any other bishop. Str1977 (talk) 06:07, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

Shouldn't the text above the picture be updated in light of recent events?

It reads "His Excellency, The Most Reverend Bishop of Tyler". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:200:c082:2ea0:8141:b83f:2825:cbdc (talk • contribs) 02:22, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
 * "Term ended" makes it clear enough. Rsk6400 (talk) 06:00, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, it's always a good idea to follow an untrue designation with the truth.
 * But it's much better to avoid the untrue designation to begin with.
 * NOTE: There seems to be some stray letters and a square bracket atop the photo.

Motto
Hi, Can someone check the Latin on his crest? I used Google to translate the Latin motto "Ut inhabitem in domo Domini" and it was translated as "That they should NOT dwell in the house of the Lord" (note the NOT).

When I back translated with Google from "That they should dwell in the house of the Lord" (with NOT removed), I get "ut inhabitent in domo Domini".

So which is correct here? inhabitem Vs inhabitent

 * Sajor, the Wikipedian who did this coat of arms and does many others, is very competent -- I can't imagine him making a mistake. I also have some experience with Latin, and the phrase appears correct. It's more likely that Google Translate incorrectly did the translation, which is common.
