Vatican Upholds Fr. Frank Pavone's Appeal

Priests for Life

We are happy to announce that the Vatican has upheld Father Frank Pavone's appeal and has declared that Father Pavone is not now nor has ever been suspended. Father Pavone remains a priest in good standing all over the world.

We were confident all along that a just decision would be made by the Vatican's Congregation for the Clergy. While we fully agree that Bishop Zurek has rightful authority over the priests of his diocese, we also see the urgent need for Father Pavone to be allowed to conduct his priestly ministry outside the diocese of Amarillo for the good of the pro-life movement.

I love hearing this good news. God bless Bishop Zurek for enforcing Church principles in tough times and in opposition of popular opinion. Welcome back, Fr. Pavone!

It’s great news reading that the fearless defender of the
unborn is returning to the front line to support the unborn,
mothers-to-be, and mothers who have sadly had abortions.
