Brief Chronicle of Events


Presuppositions and context to the story


Bishop Bruskewitz writes a preface disparaging Resistance

June 22, 2000: The Bishop's Preface - The weekly The Wanderer published the first of seven articles by Mr. Stephen Hand. The series was supposed to be a refutation of the public statement We Resist You to the Face by Mr. Atila S. Guimarães, Mr. Michael J. Matt, Mr. John Vennari and Dr. Marian T. Horvat. The statement by the four authors was published first in The Remnant (April 30, 2000), later in book form by TIA (May, 2000), and finally in the Catholic Family News (July, 2000). Mr. Hand’s first article was preceded by words from The Wanderer editor Mr. Alphonse J. Matt Jr., and a preface by His Excellency Bishop Fabian W. Bruskewitz of Lincoln.


Authors of the statement We Resist You To the Face respond

September 15, 2000: Five Questions for Msgr. Bruskewitz - Atila Sinke Guimaraes responds to the preface of Bishop Bruskewitz with five questions undermining his attack, pointing out flaws in his position, and questioning his double standards.

September 15, 2000: Insinuations - Dr. Marian Horvat questions Bishop Bruskewitz on the insinuations in his preface, and defends her signing of the statement We Resist You To the Face

July 31, 2000: A Letter to Bishop Bruskewitz - Jonathan Tuttle questions Msgr. Bruskewitz's defense of scandalous papal actions and challenges the bishops endorsement of the controversial Stephen Hand.
