Frank Pavone DEFROCKED by the Vatican

Didn't see that coming. Though it is richly deserved, IMO...

VATICAN CITY (AP) — The Vatican has defrocked an anti-abortion U.S. priest, Frank Pavone, for what it said were “blasphemous communications on social media” as well as “persistent disobedience” of his bishop who repeatedly told him to stop his partisan activism for Donald Trump.

A letter to U.S. bishops from the Vatican ambassador to the U.S., Archbishop Christophe Pierre, obtained Sunday, said that the decision against Pavone, who heads the anti-abortion group Priests for Life, had been taken Nov. 9, and that there was no chance for an appeal...

...with his collar on (in direct violation of the laicization) and a leather biker jacket. Ooooooo bad-ass.

Didn't that far right wing EWTN priest Fr. Corapi wear black combat fatigue-styled regalia with his collar? I believe he was also laicized, but for sex allegations and disobedience to his religious superior. He's now disappeared from news and social media.

Maybe we will get lucky and Pavone will do the same. But I don't see a man who preached a mass with an ABORTED FETUS on the altar shutting up anytime soon.

It would take a lot to get rid of Pavone. The man has no shame.
