“The conduct of women during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass shall be one of silence. No woman shall speak out during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Women must wear head coverings when they enter the House of God. The House of God is a place of prayer, and not a meeting place or dance hall. No woman shall speak from the pulpit. No woman shall enter the ministry.”
- (Bible)
Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz, whose diocese includes 136 churches and 89,412 members around Nebraska's state capital, believes having only boys at the altar helps recruit them to become priests, said the Rev. Mark Huber, chancellor of the diocese.
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Lincoln, Nebraska, is the only one in America that prohibits altar girls in church after a Northern Virginia diocese dropped its ban this week.
In Arlington, Va., Bishop Paul Loverde of the 67-parish diocese ended the restriction Tuesday, almost 12 years after Pope John Paul II granted bishops permission for altar girls. Only Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz of the Lincoln Diocese still forbids girls from serving at Mass.
The 193 other Catholic dioceses and archdioceses in the USA already allowed the practice. The use of altar girls since 1994 ended a centuries-old custom of male-only participation in the church's most sacred ritual.
"It's pretty obvious that Rome is allowing each bishop to make (his own) decision," Huber said. He said Bruskewitz's practice has helped boost Lincoln's "exceptional number of vocations to the priesthood."
John Krejci, a church activist and former priest in Lincoln, doesn't expect the bishop to change his mind. "He's very much anti-female," said Krejci, who attended seminary with Bruskewitz. Krejci co-founded the Nebraska branch of Call to Action, a Catholic group at odds with Bruskewitz and the church on priestly celibacy and women priests.
Bruskewitz was not available for comment. "From his perspective, he's just trying to be faithful to the church," Huber said.
Krejci said the bishop excommunicated him and has threatened to banish Catholics who belong to a dozen groups, including Call to Action.
In Arlington, churches moved quickly to install altar girls. "We've got our letter written already. We're hoping for this Sunday," said the Rev. Leonard Tuozzolo of Our Lady Queen of Peace parish. "A lot of children grew up for years wanting to be on the altar and help out, but because of their femininity could not."
Editor's comment:
God bless Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz for having the courage to the keep traditions. God has blessed his diocese. Let us pray for him and for all bishops to be more like him.
BIBLE TEACHINGS
Veronica - Saint Paul is carrying a very huge Bible. And he has a small stick, and he appears to be pointing to a page in his writings.... The rule he's pointing to, I can read, refers to discipline during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
[Veronica reads the following:]
“The conduct of women during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass shall be one of silence. No woman shall speak out during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.[1] Women must wear head coverings when they enter the House of God. [2] The House of God is a place of prayer, and not a meeting place or dance hall. No woman shall speak from the pulpit. No woman shall enter the ministry.”

SEWING, MUSIC
“Big girls, there is so much the mothers could teach them. They do not sew anymore. They do not play the instruments of music. Better they play this way than to go out and find the creations of Satan. They do not stay in their homes, because their homes are not homes. They are castles of sin!”
- The Bayside Prophecies
St. Theresa, October 2, 1974
HIGH PRIESTESS
“I ask this of you as your God: in the Holy Sacrifice that I left with you, I did not ask for women to be upon the altar, nor try to be a high priestess. They carry this on in the churches of Satan; therefore, it shall not be carried on in My Church. When I had the Last Supper with the Apostles, My Mother was not present. If I had it in My power from the Eternal Father to make a priestess, I would surely have chosen My Mother; but, no, there were no women present at the first Dedication.”
- The Bayside Prophecies
Jesus, October 2, 1987
GOOD OR EVIL
“My child, you will make it known to mankind that the head of an earthly family is the father. The Father Eternal will guide the father, the head of the household. A woman of earth shall not cast aside her role as mother and housekeeper. In her role as mother, she shall be the guardian of her children's souls and a helpmate of her husband, and a guardian also of his earthly soul and the soul eternal. By her example in her household, she has the power, as woman, for good or evil. She shall stay in her home and guide her children.”
- The Bayside Prophecies
St. Joseph, July 15, 1975
READ ST. PAUL
“All who have received the Holy Spirit have consecrated hands. And I say unto you none but legally-ordained priests in My House shall bring My Body to the multitudes! No woman shall stand in the holy place! No woman shall vie or compete for rulership in My House. I say unto you, you must go back and read the Commandments of the Eternal Father; you must go back and read the rules that Paul gave to you. You cast him aside and you write another book, a bible, a tome; you write it to suit your own basic carnal human nature.”
