U.S. BISHOP SAYS CHURCH CRISIS ABOUT
"DISSENT ON SEXUAL MORALITY"
Voice of Faithful Catholic Laity Was Shut Out of Dallas
Conference
LINCOLN, Neb.,
July 17, 2002 (LSN.ca) - Bishop Fabian W. Bruskewitz of Lincoln,
Nebraska commented on the crisis in the Catholic church as being all
about "dissent" in a recent interview on Eternal Word Television
Network. Speaking with Raymond Arroyo of EWTN's "The World Over"
program, Bishop Bruskewitz said, "the whole problem quite frankly is
precisely dissent" on issues of "sexual morality."
The bishop noted his disappointment with the June bishops' conference
dealing with the sexual abuse matter. He noted that the voice of
faithful Catholic laity was shut out of the conference. The two people
present to represent the laity were "not at all" representative of
faithful Catholic laity, he said, pointing out that one of the
presenters - Margaret Steinfels - is an open dissenter to church
doctrine on sexual matters.
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.
