NEW YORK (RNS) One of the highest profile anti-abortion activists in the
Catholic Church in the United States says he will abide by but appeal a
suspension order from his bishop following allegations of financial
mismanagement.
The Rev. Frank Pavone, who developed a huge following through his
nationwide campaigns against abortion as head of the New York-based
Priests for Life, is under investigation for mishandling his
organization's budget.
Pavone said Tuesday (Sept. 13) that he had appealed the suspension
order issued by Bishop Patrick J. Zurek of Amarillo, Texas, but said he
would return to Amarillo as Zurek ordered.
