we keep watch And as we wait around this special fire — the Paschal Candle — we tell our story The story of salvation history and the proclamation that before the word and glorious cross of Christ The liturgy of Good Friday recalls graphically the passion and death of Jesus Holy Saturday is a day of quietly waiting and preparing for the Easter Vigil A vigil begins with a light service As the light of day fades away we turn our attention to the light of Christ The Easter Vigil begins with a very special service of light We gather around a fire and we think of Christ the light of God’s Christ is risen This liturgy culminates in the baptism of the elect and the celebration of the Eucharist The day has dawned at last the day of days indeed the feast we celebrate we call simply “The Day of the Lord” The Day is Easter Sunday The characteris- Conservative Bishop’s threats raise debate By Pittsburgh Post-Gazet- te The Catholic bishop who is threatening to excommunicate members of dissident groups ranging from Planned Parenthood to Freemasons in his tiny Nebraska diocese is not likely to start a trend Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz is widely considered to be a loose cannon by the National Conference of Catholic Bishops more for his abrasive speech and tactics than for his conservative views Catholic bishops do not criti- Candle and frequent reiteration cize other Catholic bishops — publicly There is a consensus that Bruskewitz has the right to do what he has done but the question is whether he has used share in Christ’s resurrection in the breaking of the bread that right wisely “I do not believe that many tics of Easter are the Paschal of “Alleluia” renewal of baptismal promises and we now other bishops will follow suit” says Bishop Anthony Bosco of Grccnsburg Pa who once confronted Bruskewitz in a meeting where he believed Bruskewitz had impugned the theological integrity of Archbishop John Roach of St May 15 they will be excommunicated meaning they cannot be buried in a Catholic cemetery under his jurisdiction Although he cannot judge the bishop’s action “this is certainly a relatively extreme measure” said the Rev Lawrence DiNardo language translations of the Catholic lituigy In 1993 he compared a translation of this Psalms to a “Nazi psalter” produced in Germany in the 1930s His warning to Catholics in his diocese singles out specific orga- nizations: Planned Parenthood lis “I’m not surprised that he would do this I think it is in keeping with his style and mindset But I don’t think it works” But Bruskewitz is a hero to some Catholic groups who con- sider many bishops too open Human Life International and the Catholic League for Civil and Religious Rights have praised his latest bold stand against dissent Bruskewitz 60 became bishop of Lincoln in 1992 Since then he has distinguished himself with energetic opposition to inclusive the chief canon lawyer for the Diocese of Pittsburgh the Society of St Pius X and its local chapel the Hemlock Society Call To Action and its local affiliate Catholics for a Free Choice and various Masonic WESTATES INFO groups 753-19-00 Bruskewitz warned that any Catholics in his diocese who still
