Examples of greater traditionalism or orthodoxy in the Lincoln Diocese:How wonderful would it be if every diocese was so blessed as to have a bishop like His Excellency, Bishop Bruskewitz? (or Archbishop Burke, Bishops Vasa, Olmsted, Sheridan and others who are faithful to Christ and His Church?) It's something well worth praying to our Lord about.
* Only boys, not girls, may be altar servers.
* Women act as [extraordinary] eucharistic ministers only in extraordinary situations.
* Vocations to the priesthood are high, with few signs of the priest shortage that is plaguing other dioceses.
* Lincoln is one of few dioceses that is successfully recruiting nuns.
* All parishes follow the traditional form and wording of the Mass.
* Lincoln’s Catholic schools are healthy and well-supported, while Catholic school systems in some other places have closed.
* There’s a strong emphasis on religious devotion and worship. Many parishioners attend daily Mass or participate in perpetual adoration.
* Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz requires strict adherence to correct doctrine and practice.
* In 1996 Bruskewitz issued a list of 12 groups local Catholics are forbidden to join, calling them “perilous to the Catholic Faith.” They include several Masonic groups, Planned Parenthood, Catholics for a Free Choice, Society of St. Pius X, Hemlock Society and Call to Action.
