What does this mean...a failure, WYD, having it in Portugal, evangelization?

And while Bp. Strickland is a great bishop, he is not "America's bishop." According to the faith and practice of the Church we all have our own diocesan bishops, whether we like them or not.

it is a sarcastic remark making light of the way that Strickland predicted this year's WYD would have the lowest attendance since JPII began the event (a blatantly untrue statement).

"America's bishop" is a term recently used by the LifeSiteNews crowd to describe their hero, Strickland. it is, as you say, uncanonical, and I would go so far as to say evil, because in giving the accolade to one (unworthy) bishop, they intend to deny legitimacy to all other bishops of the country, who in their twisted worldview are not sufficiently outspoken against Francis, Biden, etc.

I'd just like to gently recommend next time to put /s (sarcasm) or /jk (joke) at the end if you want to be sarcastic, God bless!

And I might add that I love mine and I'm reasonably sure he is too busy working to waste his time on social media.
