I remember Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz (I don’t think that’s how his name is really spelled....but in my world....:))announced that in his diocese being a participating members of several groups, including Catholics for Free Choice and SSPX were grounds for excommunication. Everyone here would totally support the bishop if the group was Catholics for Free Choice. To me, it’s the same thing.

I think you got Bruskewitz right, actually :-).

Everyone here would totally support the bishop if the group was Catholics for Free Choice. To me, it’s the same thing.

I want to say, "It's not the same, because ..." but I'm having trouble filling in anything after the "because." Maybe "because they're not necessarily bad people!"

The Archbishop's point, I think, must be related to its being a public, group event of self-described Catholics. (No, I'm not making a statement about whether they are Catholic or not; the question is beyond me.) If it were a tour group from the United Methodist church seeing the historic sites, it wouldn't have the potential to create confusion regarding the Catholic Church.
