Maverick Bishop Defends Out-Of-Step Diocese By Oskar Garcia Beatrice Daily Sun June 1, 2007 http://www.beatricedailysun.com/articles/2007/06/01/ap-state-ne/d8pgals00.txt Omaha, Neb. - A Catholic bishop in Lincoln on Friday called the church's annual collection of clergy sex abuse data pointless, and said he won't assume wrongdoing by the diocese and its priests. Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz's refusal to take part in the survey from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops is odds with the vast majority of the nation's Catholic churches, and has brought criticism from a national group that has questioned his practices. "We assume the other way - that our people are decent and good, and that they don't have to be continually monitored, checked and audited because they are not under suspicion," Bruskewitz said. |
