“And he forbade any of his priests to show his face in support of Terri”.
“Priests for Life”, the internationally known pro-life organization fought long and hard to save Terri Schiavo.
Father Frank Pavone, the Director of Priests for Life, was beside her and gave her absolution before she left this world. She had already been given the fuller last rites of the Church by other priests in days leading up to her death.
Fr. Pavone is not a priest of that diocese.
IIRC, the bishop was Robert “Adonis” Lynch.
