(Bishop) Bruskewitz besieged!
Off the Record ^ | December 26, 2006 | Diogenes

Brace yourself, Bishop B. You've been "targeted" by the power hitters at National Call To Action, who intend to bombard you with fragrant and well-spelled letters indicting you for failure to comply with the alternative sexualities audit conducted by the Office of Child & Youth Protection. And not only that, but the CTA folks are ratting you out to Bishop William Skylstad, whose own diocese -- so punctilious are its pastors -- has complied itself into receivership.

The NCR reports:

Nicole Sotelo, codirector of national Call to Action, said her organization intends to mount a letter-writing campaign to Lincoln, Neb., Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz, with copies to Bishop William Skylstad, bishop of Spokane, Wash., and president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.

The letters will protest Bruskewitz's refusal to comply with the bishops' conference policies on child abuse by clergy, she said. Asked about the timing of the campaign, just after an announcement that the Vatican has upheld the excommunication of the Lincoln chapter of Call to Action, she said it would counter Bruskewitz’s "attempts to silence" the organization. "Justice cannot be silenced," she said.

That should rattle 'im. It's the nail polish, I think, that conveys most forcefully Hic est digitus Dei, and I expect the excommunication to be lifted shortly after the Holy See requires coral lip gloss for concelebrant clergy.

Hasn't Call to Action been excommunicated, en total?

I'm not aware of what you are speaking here. Clarification IS necessary.

Do you mean the Roman Catholic Church? The Eastern Church? The Maronite Church? The Orthodox Church?

All are present in America. (And recognized in one way or another.)

Call to Action has been excommunicated in the Diocese of Lincoln, NE which is the only operant point and the Vatican concurred the validity of the Bishop-in-question's action, viz., one "Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz."

As I said, there is NO story here. Please move on. Digital photos are permitted, however. No news is good news.

What can they do? It's all part of the agenda:

Ms. Teresa M. Kettelkamp, Executive director, Office of Child and Youth Protection

The designation "AmChurch" usually refers to the post V2 "Novus Ordo" Roman Catholic Church in the United States, but as the reference below by Solange Hertz documents, the roots of the heresy of "Americanism" really date back to John Carroll at the time of the founding of the Republic:

Call To Action--what a farce!

Bishop Brusky will just have to get a larger "round file".
