Sink, you are dispensing "pastoral" advice and I don't think that is within your paygrade.

Particularly when you choose to contradict a Bishop of the Church.

Reconsider, my friend.

I will not reconsider.

Bruskewitz is at the far right-end of pastoral practice in the Church, and it should be noted and pointed out.

His ridiculous excommunications of members of 10 or 12 different organizations was outside of Canon Law. Note that no other bishop, not a single one, including noted canonists like Raymond Burke, emulated that extreme action. He is not authorized to excommunicate, on his own.

Bruskewitz's pastoral recommendations are not the norm, and a second opinon is in order.
