The big meanie...

Anybody who thinks that Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz of the Diocese of Lincoln is a stubborn, hard-nosed, unloving, brusk, brutal, pretentious, narcissistic, overly rigid leader who has seperated himself from the flock and has no idea what is important to us plain old Catholics should know this:

He took an hour out of his busy schedule and drove over to our parish school to watch my son and his classmates perform a Passion Play this morning. First and second graders. And the bishop did NOT come with an entourage -- he slipped in right before the play started, took a seat, watched the performance, and then slipped out again without any pomp & circumstance.

(By the way, the play was beautifully done with no squirming, giggling or other typical six-year-old antics. Zooey was in the mob and did a fine job bellowing, "Crucify Him, crucify Him!")
