Renegade archbishop excommunicated

ROME, Italy (CNN) -- A Zambian archbishop who has riled the Roman Catholic
Church by supporting marriage among Catholic priests has been excommunicated,
the Vatican has said.
"The Holy See has patiently witnessed the evolution of the events which,
unfortunately, have led Archbishop Milingo to a state of irregularity and
progressive open break from communion with the Church," the Vatican said in a
statement Tuesday.
The final straw for Emmanual Milingo -- the archbishop of Lusaka, Zambia --
was a service last weekend in Washington, D.C., in which he ordained four
married priests as bishops without the consent of the Holy See.
The four priests were also excommunicated by the Vatican.
Five years ago, Milingo broke his own vows as a Catholic priest by marrying a
woman in a mass wedding service in New York officiated by Korean evangelist
Sun Myung Moon, founder of the Unification Church.
Months later, he repented and was forgiven by the Vatican.
But Milingo has not stopped pushing for the Catholic Church to change its
policy of not allowing priests to marry. The 71-year-old recently formed a
group called Married Priests Now and is calling for the return of
approximately 150,000 former priests who are now married, according to his
Web site.
The Vatican, however, has rejected Milingo's organization, saying it has
created "divisions and consternations among the faithful."
The Vatican under Pope John Paul II was reluctant to excommunicate Milingo
because of his popularity in his home country and across Africa, and the
church did not want to create a schism within the continent.
According to the Vatican statement issued Monday, church officials have
"vainly tried to contact Archbishop Milingo in order to dissuade him into
committing actions that provoke scandals, especially in regards to the
faithful that have followed his pastoral ministry on favor of the poor and
sick."
The Vatican demoted Milingo in 1983 after the church learned he was holding
faith-healing services and exorcisms in Lusaka. He was forced to leave the
Zambian capital and given a minor job in Rome.
Milingo could not immediately be reached for comment and did not post any
response on his Web site.

Vatican confirms excommunication for US dissident group (Subscribe to RSS
Feed)
Dec. 7, 2006 (CWNews.com) - The Vatican has confirmed an American bishop’s
decision to excommunicate members of the dissident group Call to Action.
Call to Action is “causing damage to the Church of Christ,” wrote Cardinal
Giovanni Battista Re (bio - news), the prefect of the Congregation for
Bishops, in a letter to Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz of Lincoln, Nebraska.
In March 1996, Bishop Bruskewitz had announced the excommunication of all
Catholics in his diocese who were members of Call to Action or several other
dissident groups which he described as “totally incompatible with the
Catholic faith.”
The Nebraska chapter of Call to Action appealed the bishop’s decision to the
Vatican. In his November 24 letter to Bishop Bruskewitz, Cardinal Re reports
that Vatican’s finding that the disciplinary action was “properly taken.”
The Vatican has determined that “the activities of ‘Call to Action’ in the
course of these years are in contrast with the Catholic Faith due to views
and positions held which are unacceptable from a doctrinal and disciplinary
standpoint,” Cardinal Re writes. He concludes: “Thus to be a member of this
Association or to support it, is irreconcilable with a coherent living of the
Catholic Faith.”
The excommunication that Bishop Bruskewitz announced covered not only to Call
to Action, but also to members of Catholics for a Free Choice, Planned
Parenthood, the Hemlock Society, the Freemasons, and the Society of St. Pius
X.
The excommunication order applies only within the Lincoln, Nebraska diocese.
But the Vatican’s judgment against Call to Action raises clear questions
about the status of the group’s members in other dioceses.

Vatican affirms excommunication of Call to Action members in Lincoln
By S.L. Hansen
Catholic News Service
LINCOLN, Neb. (CNS) -- The Vatican has upheld Bishop Fabian W. Bruskewitz's
decision 10 years ago that membership in Call to Action "is totally
incompatible with the Catholic faith" and results in automatic
excommunication for Catholics in the Diocese of Lincoln.
In a Nov. 24 letter to the Lincoln bishop, made public Dec. 8, Cardinal
Giovanni Battista Re, prefect of the Vatican Congregation for Bishops, told
Bishop Bruskewitz that his ruling "was properly taken within your competence
as pastor of that diocese."
"The judgment of the Holy See is that the activities of Call to Action in the
course of these years are in contrast with the Catholic faith due to views
and positions held which are unacceptable from a doctrinal and disciplinary
standpoint," the cardinal said in his letter.
"Thus to be a member of this association or to support it is irreconcilable
with a coherent living of the Catholic faith," he added.
Bishop Bruskewitz said he hopes Cardinal Re's letter will bring clarity to
Catholics who have continued their affiliation with Call to Action, Call to
Action Nebraska or the 10 other groups cited in the original "statement of
extrasynodal legislation," a formal canonical notice that they would be
automatically excommunicated if they remained members of those groups.
"My prayer will always be that when people understand they have taken a wrong
turn, they will stop and take the right turn," the bishop said.
He said Catholics who wish to return to full communion with the church must
repudiate their membership in the groups by sending a letter to the
organization and having their names removed from any rosters or mailing
lists. Then they can seek out the sacrament of reconciliation, where their
priests can guide them in confession and penance.
Although the Vatican letter only dealt with Call to Action, the other groups
named by Bishop Bruskewitz were: Planned Parenthood, Society of St. Pius X,
Hemlock Society, St. Michael the Archangel Chapel, Freemasons, Job's
Daughters, DeMolay, Eastern Star, Rainbow Girls and Catholics for a Free
Choice.
The Hemlock Society works to legalize physician-assisted suicide, and Planned
Parenthood and Catholics for a Free Choice both support keeping abortion
legal.
Job's Daughters, DeMolay, Eastern Star and Rainbow Girls all are affiliated
with the Masons. The Society of St. Pius X and St. Michael the Archangel
Chapel both oppose the liturgical reforms of the Second Vatican Council and
celebrate Mass in the Tridentine rite.
After the Vatican decision, Bishop Bruskewitz said he felt a duty to lead the
people under his pastoral care away from organizations perilous to the faith.
"Parents have to tell children that they can't test everything in the
medicine cabinet or drink everything under the sink," the bishop explained.
"The church is our mother and gives us these instructions as protection
against dangers we might not perceive. ... It is liberating, not enslaving."
The bishop said he hopes people affected by his ruling will remedy their
situations without delay.
"The Lord loves everyone and died for everyone, and he wants all to be
saved," he said. "The best lesson that can be learned from everything that
has happened is that one finds happiness, joy and satisfaction in obedience
to the church."
Bishop Robert F. Vasa of Baker, Ore., was vicar general of the Diocese of
Lincoln in 1996 and general secretary of the diocesan synod that issued the
decree of excommunication.
Upon hearing of the Vatican's response, he said, "There never was any
question of the bishop's right to do this and the suitability given the
circumstances. I'm pleased to see that the Holy See has publicly affirmed
Bishop Bruskewitz's decree and authority."
Call to Action, founded after the U.S. bishops' national Call to Action
conference in Detroit in 1976, works to change church teachings in such areas
as mandatory celibacy for priests, the male-only priesthood, the selection
process for bishops and popes, and opposition to artificial contraception.
The Chicago-based national organization claims a membership of more than
25,000 people in 53 local chapters, and holds an annual conference in
Milwaukee.
Talking about his 1996 warning that Catholics would excommunicate themselves
by maintaining membership in Call to Action and/or Call to Action Nebraska,
which drew national media attention, Bishop Bruskewitz said he was
"determined to face up to the media so that it didn't look like I was ashamed
of my decision."
The diocese was soon flooded with feedback, 95 percent of which supported his
decision, he said.
The bishop said he did not anticipate a similar reaction to the Vatican's
official ruling on the matter. "I can't imagine that there is much interest,"
he said.
