Father Pavone’s actions showed disrespect for right to life

On November 16, 2016
Bill Cross

To the editor:

It was with disgust I viewed a video posted to video access of Fr. Frank Pavone placing an aborted fetus on an altar and holding it up for view. By this action, Father Pavone showed a disrespect for right to life and his actions were as offensive as abortion itself.

Bishop Patrick Zurek of Dallas, Texas, has rightfully ordered an investigation into Father Pavone’s actions and publicly stated, “They are not consistent with the beliefs of the Catholic Church” and “the diocese regrets the offense and outrage caused by the video for the faithful and community at large.”
