pointing out that one of the presenters - Margaret Steinfels - is an open dissenter to church doctrine on sexual matters.

The fact that she was a presenter at the conference was just a big fat poke in the eye to faithful Catholics everywhere.

Buskewitz in completely right. This Catholic Church must decide where it stands on the issue of sexual morality - not just in terms of what is stated in the Catechism (and the Bible), but in terms of what it is going to teach the world's youth. Let's have it - homosexual activity - condoned? If the Church does that, it will have abandoned scripture and God's will. But then stop condoning it IN THE PRIESTHOOD. Premarital sex? Sinful - but too cowardly to actual say so to any young adult? Contraception? THe Church is torn in this country between faithfulness to God and His wishes and to the wishes of dissenters, who would like to tear down any roadblock on the path to total sexual abandonment. Our Church is being led by doctrinal cowards, and its priesthood is filled with unrepentant sexual miscreants.

"I have better things to do with my time and money than to listen to Margaret Steinfels" he said.

You just gotta LOVE this man! The Bishops should listen carefully to Bishop Bruskewitz. He has proven that you can increase vocations without watering down the Faith or relaxing the requirements of celibacy and chastity. If the U. S. Bishops are TRULY interested in the salvation of U. S. Catholics, they will pay close attention to him!

[Antoninus]

Bishop Bruskewitz registered a complaint with the bishops conference regarding the two speakers. "I have better things to do with my time and money than to listen to Margaret Steinfels" he said.

I think I'm going to faint. There is at least one bishop out there willing and able to use his teaching authority to the fullest. God bless you, Bishop Bruskewitz. Through the intercession of St. Jean Brebeuf, St. Isaac Jogues, and all the North American Martyrs, I pray that you will soon be made a Cardinal....
