In 2006 the Vatican confirmed Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz‘s 1996 decision to excommunicate members of the dissident group Call to Action. Unfortunately, the excommunication order applied only within the Diocese of Lincoln, Nebraska.
I say “unfortunately” because the e-card to God above proves, yet again, that Call To Action continues to endanger souls, (not the least their own), and that the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) should act as one body to apply the same disciplinary actions nationwide as was done in the Diocese of Lincoln.
At that time Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, prefect of the Congregation for Bishops, stated within the confirmation letter to Bruskewitz that Call To Action is “causing damage to the Church of Christ”, and 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.” Re further pointed out in his closing remarks, that “to be a member of this Association or to support it, is irreconcilable with a coherent living of the Catholic Faith.” Thereby upholding Bruskewitz’s own judgement and decision that Call To Action is “totally incompatible with the Catholic faith”. And so, the disciplinary action was deemed “properly taken.”
So, what about Call To Action today?
Causing damage to the Church of Christ?
Check…
Activities of Call To Action in contrast with the Catholic faith?
Check…
Views and positions unacceptable from a doctrinal and disciplinary standpoint?
Check…
Irreconcilable with a coherent living of the Catholic Faith?
Check…
Totally incompatible with the Catholic faith?
See above.
As I write, the church is fighting the culture of death for the sake of religious freedom in America, 100% of bishops who head dioceses have spoken out against the odious Obama/HHS mandate.
A mandate supported by Call To Action.
Hopefully, Bishop’s will soon realize that any well-coordinated defense of the Catholic Church from such outside forces must necessarily include defense of the faith from those posing to be inside, and act.

God won’t get that card – it’s gonna go in His spam folder.
James – where’d you find that card?
Never mind – found it at their Facebook page.
Linking to your post, btw
Ya’all need to get a life. It’s humor,, come on now,,,
Some things simply are not funny, no matter how your wishful thinking may delude you.
GK: You do not understand. As I posted on another blog: “Whether the author of this e-card recognizes the full meaning (and thus value) of their baptism or not, God recognizes it. And that same indelible spiritual mark placed upon the soul nonetheless produced before the face of the divinity the same image and words shown above… Spiritual evil has inspired (or possessed) this person(s) to mock the very holy things needed for salvation at the moment of death, and has done so in the place wherein this action occurs in that same moment of mortal need, the heart… It would be better that the Bishop’s crush the bad spirit here on the ground, rather than for these souls to experience the coming regret. This is why I’m for excommunication, for their own good…”
Give some prayer to it my friend–EDITOR
These people are truly sick.
