Frank refuses to report the finances of Priests for Life. The Bishops have an obligation to take care of the administration part of the Church as well as the pastoral. Fr. Frank also refuses to take assignments from his Bishops which is a big no no. A priest is supposed to be obedient to his bishop and a religious priest to his prior, abbot, or provincial. This is what concerns me. Imagine if all priests ignore their bishops and refused to go where they are assigned to, it would be a disaster. No one doubts (I hope not) that Fr. Frank is a great priest and has good intentions, but he is a priest first before anything else. He does not need PFL to be Pro-life. So if need be and if he is assigned elsewhere, he must obey the ordinary.

Pavone has had ...I don't know, Sac, I think Fr. Pavone has had a lot of persecution from bishops. And I've seen the same thing happen when my family tried to follow the instructions for Priests for Life! Unbelievable persecution from the hierachy. Unfair and unjust persecution. I think there's something rotten in Denmark and some chanceries of the United States. What makes the laity skeptical is the lack of pro-life sermons on Sunday, and lack of cooperation from their dioceses on the pro-life cause. Sorry. Possible Fr Pavone is acting improperly, but he is dealing with a largely hostile clergy. You know the Catholic Conference of Catholic Bishops convinced the pro-life Democrats ion the House to go along with Obama "Care" which is not health care, but a tax increase, abortion and stealth euthanasia. I know they were told Obama would leave out the abortion, but how could they have been so ignorant as to have believed him? I do not see them at all being uniformly on the side of life. This does not reflect any doubt on my part in the Catholic Church. But whole local churches have disappeared and been removed from the face of earth throughout history. And Our Lord warned He would come and take the Church's lamp stand. It happened. They are gone in the Middle East and Northern Africa and quickly now in Europe. Let us pray God does not remove the lamp stand from the United States. I actually fear for young priests like you as you will bear the cross of the mistakes made in the past. God bless you.
