Father Fidelis Moscinski, CFR, Matthew Connolly, Dr. Monica Miller, and Laura Gies have all received custodial sentences.
(LifeSiteNews) — Four Red Rose Rescuers have been sentenced to prison for counseling women at a Michigan abortion business. Two more have been sentenced to probation.
Father Fidelis Moscinski, CFR, Matthew Connolly, Dr. Monica Miller, and Laura Gies have all received custodial sentences from Judge Cynthia Meagher Arvant today. They were taken immediately to Oakland County Jail, according to the Red Rose Rescue Facebook page.
Fr. Fidelis was given 270 days – 90 days for each of the three charges leveled against him, which he will be serving concurrently. He will thus be in prison for three months. His heroic pro-life witness was recently profiled by LifeSiteNews’ Senior Correspondent Jim Hale.
A witness to the sentencing hearing reported that the judge had pressed Fr. Fidelis, a priest of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal who has dedicated his life to the unborn, about how he presents himself. The observer said the judge asked rhetorically whether he was committing “fraud” by entering abortion facilities in street clothes rather than his Franciscan habit. The witness relayed that the judge had insinuated that by then coming to the courtroom in his habit, Fr. Fidelis was being “theatrical” and “disingenuous.”
Matthew Connolly also received three 90-day sentences, which he will serve concurrently. Laura Gies received two 60-day sentences, which she will serve concurrently. Dr. Monica Miller received two 45-day sentences, which she too will serve concurrently. When Miller asked to defer the date of her incarceration, so she could attend a cancer treatment follow-up appointment, the judge refused, saying, “You knew what you were doing when you broke the law.”

What a waste.
Peter and Paul would be proud of them.
Dear Father, i ask that their stay in prison be fruitful, In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
We are fighting an unholy, evil regime, from the county level, through the White House and beyond.
The observer said the judge asked rhetorically whether he was committing “fraud” by entering abortion facilities in street clothes rather than his Franciscan habit. The witness relayed that the judge had insinuated that by then coming to the courtroom in his habit, Fr. Fidelis was being “theatrical” and “disingenuous.”
So he’s a fraud when he wears street clothes and he’s disingenuous when he wears his habit.
Would the judge prefer he go naked on the street and in court?

The destruction of our nation has gone into over-drive. I don’t think the U.S. can even be saved at this point, even if policies were reversed tomorrow. The rot is too deep.
This is exactly what happened at the very beginning in Germany when they started picking off one by one every Jew then later on around them up by the thousands, and herded them on train straight to the concentration camps. Don’t think for one minute they’re not planning to eliminate every conservative Christian that stands in the way of their satanic agenda…..THEY ARE COMING FOR US!
Why not, Rose? They know that we are not going to do anything. They have removed our statues and we did nothing. They have stripped our Army Bases of their names and renamed them and we did nothing. They stole the Election of 2020 and we did nothing, Ditto the 2022 election. They imprisoned Citizens exercising their Rights on January 6 and we did nothing. They tried and convicted a Trump supporter in New York and we did nothing. They are have indicted and are about to arrest and possibility imprison and murder, A/L/A, Jerry Epstein style and we will do nothing. Why shouldn’t they come after us? What have they got to lose?
and not a peep from Archdiocese and Bishops. RCINC showing its true colors by throwing :”troublesome” members under the bus in supplication to the state
Hey Pope Frankie- pick up the clue phone
