Bishop Tycho's Ouster Due to Apostasy
May 22, 2025
Bishop Tycho was ousted from his position with a vote of 10 in favor and 6 against, largely due to the charge of apostasy. Despite support from some bishops, the decision reinforced the notion that penalties should be strictly enforced. Tycho remains a member of the Holy Synod but has lost the chance to return to his throne or to contend for the archbishopric. Apostasy is viewed as an extreme behavior that casts others as heretics and demands a stringent approach to faith.
