	Bishop Bruskewitz Stands by Refusal to Participate in Child Sex Abuse "Audit" Nebraska State Paper [Lincoln NE] April 25, 2006 http://nebraska.statepaper.com/vnews/display.v/ART/2006/04/25/444e4bbda620f Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz of Lincoln is regarded by many as the most conservative of his Roman Catholic colleagues in the United States. That distinction stems from a variety of policy decisions that have brought praise and condemnation, including one involving searching for child abuse in the church. The latest publicity surrounding Bruskewitz involves his refusal last year to have his diocese participate in a survey called for by the U.S. Conference of Bishops in a Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People. The Bishops appointed a National Review Board to conduct the "audit." Bruskewitz said the board has no authority over individual bishops. The chairwoman of the board wants other bishops to persuade Bursketwitz to change his position. Only Lincoln and a diocese in Massachusetts refused to participate in the audit.
