Another Priest with Feet of Clay? But Don't Let Disillusion Kill Your Peace!

Update 1/26/23: Several witnesses including two priests have confirmed Fr. Pavone's inappropriate behavior with women. One, Fr. Stephen Imberratto, who worked at Priests for Life from 2015-2018 described his experience to Church Militant:

"During my three and a half years at PFL, I counseled a woman who endured harassment from Frank Pavone and eventually left PFL employment over his inappropriate behaviors.

"PFL did not have a human resource department providing recourse to aggrieved employees, nor a safe, independent and confidential harassment committee... Having a general awareness of other victims over the years besides the woman I counseled, I resigned after the board, at my insistence, finally instituted an independent and confidential employee harassment committee to protect all employed at PFL against any future inappropriate behaviors."

In a long life of pro-life activism, I've never held the mangled dead body of an aborted baby. I've never gone through the trash at an abortion mill. I've never participated in the burial of a tiny abortion victim. I know a number of pro-lifers who have and I respect them more than words can express. Fr. Paul Marx did. Fr. Frank Pavone did. 

We Don't know What We Don't Know about Fr. Pavone!

Fr. Stephen Imbarrato, a veteran of Red Rose Rescues, worked directly with Fr. Pavone. His witness on this matter is worth listening to. Pray for everyone involved in this controversy. Celebrity priests are targets of satan and often pride damages much of their good work.

Let's all take a deep breath. 

More on the Fr. Pavone Controversy!

I try to always be fair and practice due diligence when it comes to conflicts. Yesterday, I wrote about Fr. Pavone's dismissal from the priesthood. After doing more research, I think the story is more complicated. Phil Lawler wrote the article, Fr. Pavone's last stand linked below. I believe Lawler is a good and honest reporter with a solid track record. he wrote this article in 2011.

I would have said "Wonderland," but there is nothing of "wonder" in anything that comes out of the Francis Vatican these days, only of the bizarre. Let's look at some of the latest abominations:
