The Vatican has defrocked an anti-abortion U.S. priest, Frank Pavone, for what it said were 'blasphemous communications on social media' as well as 'persistent disobedience' of his bishop.
, for what it said were"blasphemous communications on social media" as well as"persistent disobedience" of his bishop who repeatedly told him to stop his partisan activism for Donald Trump.
Father Frank Pavone, national director of Priests for Life, speaks in front of the U.S. Supreme Court during the March for Life in Washington, January 24, 2020.Even before then, Pavone successfully appealed 2011 restrictions on his ministry that Amarillo Bishop Patrick Zurek had placed on him. He later appeared in a social media video wearing a black leather biker jacket over his priestly collar against a faux backdrop of St. Peter's Basilica vowing that the anti-abortion"war" would continue and denouncing the"cancel culture" of the church that he said had persecuted him for decades.
"The blasphemy is that this holy priest is canceled while an evil president promotes the denial of truth & the murder of the unborn at every turn, Vatican officials promote immorality & denial of the deposit of faith & priests promote gender confusion devastating lives…evil," Strickland tweeted. The statement concluded that since Priests for Life is not a Catholic organization, it would be up to the group to determine whether he could continue his role"as a lay person."
