What is this about "negotiation" with Cardinal Egan, though

Due to the shortage of Priests, Cardinal Egan has asked Fr. Frank Pavone to step down from Priests for LIfe, and return to serving in a Church.

return to serving in a Church.

This may not be entirely a bad thing. He'll (have|get) to preach at least once on Sunday and each weekday. 10-1 his sermons won't be the mealy-mouthed pablum too many Catholic priests mistake for preaching.

Thanks for the info re Fr. Pavone.

[Notwithstanding]

It is not necessarily due to a shortage of priests that Fr. Pavone was recalled. It may be because PFL has strongly endorsed projects that display the truth of choice in full color - and the USCCB does not like such a "controversial" project. Cardinal Egan (any cardinal for that matter) has to be somewhat mindful of politics - and therefore does nto wat the most powerful catholic voice on Life to be a priest who shows people the bloody truth of choice (in addition to all the other wonderful projects he supports). For USCCB and Cardinals it may be too much to stomach - such a strong and absolute in your face message about the culture of death. It is offensive to the people these men need to make nice with (Kennedy's and Daschles and other jakals).
