Bishop Strickland has gone over the line a number of times already. His last offense was writing a letter in which he "outright attacked Pope Francis’ validity as the successor of St. Peter, claiming he had ousted his predecessor, the late-Benedict XVI (who denied such allegations)".
At that point he is a heretic, and the Church should sigh in relief when a heretic is removed from office. Not even quasi-schismatic German priesthood proclaim such things.
I know it's not excomunication lol. Interesting you're a conservative Catholic that's supporting the papal office, an increasing number are going down the Strickland route and casting aspersions on the legitimacy of Francis these days.

Removing a bishop from duty isn't the same as excommunication. Don't get your Catholic news from political websites. Religion transcends politics.

It's a time of great confusion, but there's no such thing as "conservative" Catholics. There's the faithful, and the heretical.
Well, props for not trying to have your rainbow cake and eat it too, I guess.
