Nobody is saying the Bishop is without sin - he may even be doing this for wrong motives, that I can't say.
What we can say is that a priest being obedient to his bishop will not be led down the "wrong path".
Yes, it might be a "wrong path" as far as the pro-life movement is concerned. But the only evil Fr. Pavone can do in this situation is disobeying his bishop.
Father Frank has helped many people and then he gets shuffled away but then you have Father Pfleger who for years was caused nothing but strife and the Church sits on its hands with him. What also gets me is that you have catholics who receive communion who are pro abortion, pro gay agenda and the church does nothing to them. Pelosi and the others have flaunted their disobedience and nothing is done to them.
Sadly, I think more than a few bishops will one day have to answer for saying nothing to these who flaunt their disobedience and disrespect for the Church's teachings.
But their disobedience could never justify disobedience on Fr. Pavone's part -- even if he intended to be disobedient for the purpose of "doing good" (as though such a contradiction could exist).
Good point. I just get mad at the injustices that go on.
