	Bishops Turn Away Group Critical of Lincoln Diocese Associated Press, carried in KPTM November 12, 2007 http://www.kptm.com/Global/story.asp?S=7348470&nav=menu606_2_4 LINCOLN, Neb. — A group critical of the Lincoln Catholic diocese for not participating in a sex abuse survey says it was turned away when it tried to hand-deliver petitions to bishops meeting in Baltimore, Maryland. The group Call to Action instead planned to sneak the petitions into the hotel where the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops is gathered. The Lincoln diocese was the only one in the country last year not to participate in the audit in which bishops were asked to report new cases of reported sexual abuse. The petitions called on the diocese to start doing so. The group wants the bishops to pressure the diocese. A spokesman for the diocese says it is complying with all church laws and says Call to Action is pulling a publicity stunt.
