Pope Goes The Weasel

[Canary42]

One way to treat critics - sack 'em

Does that put them on the path to Hell?

[Peter Pedant]

I think this is an administrative thing. - he remains a Bishop.

Archbishop Ali in Iran, deposed ten or so bishops for Bahai infiltration ( blimey , aim high, not just the usual worshippers) - and they stopped being christian ( I think) 1980. (*)

The old ceremony of Bell Book and Candle, hasnt been used for a few hundred years.

(*) The family fled to England after Bahram, Hassan's son, was shot dead in his car in 1980. His father was out of the country at the time. It is thought that by killing the bishop's only son, the revolutionaries were attempting to lure Hassan back to Iran. Returning would have meant near-certain assassination.
