Why have you been laicized by the Vatican?
Father Frank Pavone: This has been the result of many years of certain bishops trying to restrict our work. All along the way, the reasons have changed. The whole history is posted at FrFrankPavone.com. There are a lot of links there to original documents and letters.
What are they complaining about?
They’ve complained about my political involvement, a lot of times they haven’t given any reason. They will say you have to come back and do this other work instead of the pro-life work and I said, “Well, why? Is there something wrong with the work I’ve been doing? Is it against doctrine? What’s the problem?” They’ve never been able to identify a problem. They just say, “You have to listen to us.”
Is that wrong?
Well, that’s the default. Normally you do. Except that, when we appealed to the Vatican, as we did multiple times when the bishop was trying to restrict me from this work, I appealed to the Vatican and the Vatican said to him, “Let him do …More

Did anyone ever think that Frank Pavone gets to say anything he pleases, true or not, about why he was defrocked? The Church can't really defend the decision without appearing to calumniate him.
As long as he is not doing or saying anything against the teachings of the Church, the Church is morally restricted from discussing the situation. But from what I have read from others, the decision was …More

As long as he is not doing or saying anything against the teachings of the Church, the Church is morally restricted from discussing the situation. But from what I have read from others, the decision was perfectly justified. Frank Pavone is a total fraud.

@spinmeister “Frank Pavone is a total fraud.” This may be your opinion but it is unjustified, unfair and unproven.
Pavone is the one who is actually following Jesus when Jesus said” “What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one which is lost.” Luke 15:4.
“What man” means every Catholic in the world …More

“What man” means every Catholic in the world should leave the 99 and go find the lost sheep which is what Pavone did in regard to abortive mothers. Shame on most Catholic bishops for not following Jesus in the midst of the holocaust of abortion. Shame on Pavone critics for his trying to obey the command of Jesus.

Of course Frank Pavone did not get defrocked for allegedly being anti-abortion. His stance on abortion had nothing to do with it.
