About 50 people demonstrated outside St. Mary’s Catholic Church and School Saturday afternoon, calling for greater openness and inclusiveness in the Roman Catholic Church. The event concluded the 10th anniversary conference of Call to Action Nebraska..."Non-violent action"??? I think not! They do violence to truth and to the Church and to others by promoting and advocating such things as:
About half of those participating in Saturday’s “non-violent action” were CTA members from other parts of the country, while the rest were from Nebraska.
...allowing priests to marry, permitting women to be priests and perform other leadership roles in the church, ... and inclusion of gays and lesbians.But Bishop Bruskewitz, issued a statement regarding Call to Action calling it
“an anti-Catholic sect composed mainly of aging fallen-away Catholics, including ex-priests and ex-nuns.”He cuts right to the point - no wishy-washiness here.
. . .
“Although some of them might claim to still be Catholics, nobody except a few media types see them as such.”
In his statement, Bruskewitz claimed that CTA members reject the Second Vatican Council and previous church councils as well as the authority of the pope and bishops. But CTA leaders say their call for dialogue about reforms is in the true spirit of Vatican II, which brought about many changes in the 1960s and since.CTA claims to understand the "true spirit of Vatican II." Evidently, to them, the Holy Father and the Bishops united with him are clueless.
Ellen McNally, president of CTA Florida, noted that the group is treated quite differently there than in Nebraska. “We are welcomed in the Catholic Church, we meet in a Catholic Church and don’t have opposition,” she said.Any bets on which bishop she's referring to?
Don't forget that courageous bishops need our prayers just as much as these lost souls do...
