DEACON FOR LIFE

Were there to be no support in the whole history of ethical and moral thought, were there no acknowledged confirmation from medical science, were the history of legal opinion to the contrary, we would still have to conclude on the basis of God's Holy Word that the unborn child is a person in the sight of God. He is protected by the sanctity of life graciously given to each individual by the Creator, Who alone places His image upon man and grants them any right to life which they have.

Fr. Pavone Decries Judge's Order Against Pro-Life Activist Rev. Walter Hoye

STATEN ISLAND, NY, Feb. 20 /Christian Newswire/ -- Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, commented today on the unjust sentencing of Oakland, CA pro-life activist Rev. Walter Hoye as follows:

"Rev. Hoye is correct in stating his refusal to obey an order to stay away from the killing center. He is not going there simply to express beliefs, but rather to stop bloodshed. No law can tell us not to save lives. When Rev. Hoye is standing at that abortion mill, obeying God rather than men, he should not be surprised if he sees me standing there right next to him," Fr. Pavone concluded.
