Some Catholics who are members of Call to Action wanted to present church officials in Lincoln with a petition Friday, complaining about Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz refusing to participate in a nationwide audit of sex abuse cases.

They gave up the idea of a personal presentation after Bruskewitz said he would have them arrested if they came onto church property.

They decided to stand outside the cathedral and hold a news conference.

Supporters of Bruskewitz showed up and sang Ave Maria. The protesters joined them for awhile, too.

Bruskewitz is the only Bishop in the country who refuses to participate in the survey.
