The following excerpts
are from the National Catholic Register. The emphases are mine:
As
he nears retirement, Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz of Lincoln, Neb.,
reflected on the importance of the laity in modern culture, observing
that well-formed men and women can bring Christ into the
workplace and other areas where clergy cannot.
“We
have to face seeing people where they are and bringing Christ to
people where they are,” the bishop told CNA in Rome March 14.
During
a recent ad limina visit with Pope Benedict, the 76-year-old bishop
noted in an interview that Catholic laity have an irreplaceable
duty in sanctifying the world.
He
also had pointed remarks for those who identify as Catholics in
the U.S. but work to advance policies that harm the Church and
morality. “They have to realize that what they are doing is very
serious, and very seriously wrong.”
