Below is a compilation of articles on the controversial Bishop Joseph Strickland, followed by a small sampling of the tweets that gave him the reputation he has earned.

The first article is from Church Militant, who first broke the story of the visitation, followed by a series of articles from Where Peter Is, followed by some articles from other sources, including Colleen Dulle, Brian Fraga, Christopher Lamb, and Jack Jenkins.
As always, the Where Peter Is articles provide plenty of links to other sources for your knowledge and amusement.
Last but not least is a random collection of the bishop’s controversial Tweets, which is not at all exhaustive and barely representative.
First, here is my own article on the investigation. It was published Sunday morning and includes information about a former religious sister who was definitively dismissed from the religious life by Pope Francis. She is currently living and working in the diocese of Tyler, where she still presents herself as a woman religious:

Good updates, particularly about Bp Strickland. Whether there's any consequence for any bishop to express disagreement the way he has calls for attention.
Bishop Strickland, on the road to sanctity? That's what it seems. May Pilate and Herode and the High Priest crucify the Mystical Body of Christ.
