Bishop Bruskewitz did a blanket excommunication of all members of Planned Barrenhood, NARAL, Catholics for Choice, and several "progressive Catholic" (which is to say CINO) groups like Call to Action. The response from the groups was to have people wearing buttons indicating membership aproach for the Eucharist. Under Bruskewitz's orders, they were uniformly turned away. They stopped chalenging him. Regrettably, he has reached (or will this year reach) the age of 75 when he must submit his resignation to Rome. The Vatican may accept that resignation at any time but may delay for additional time until he is 80. Few bishops are allowed to serve past 80. I'd like to see him appointed to Sebelius's diocese so that he can do the dishonors of excommunicating her. There is an old ritual which might be used and might well appeal to Bishop Bruskewitz, having to do with turning altar candles upside down, one after another, at the altar of the cathedral as the formal decree of her excommunication is formally pronounced by the bishop. Regrettably the discipline of the stake and other appropriate medieval remedies are no longer available. OTOH, there would certainly be plenty of publicity as her secular humanism was formally recognized by the bishop of the diocese where her residence is located.
Would that the church had ten thousand more like him.
