(RNS) Just days after prominent anti-abortion activist Rev. Frank Pavone
was ordered to suspend his work as head of Priests for Life, Pavone and
his bishop, Patrick J. Zurek of Amarillo, Texas, are seeking a way out
of the tense standoff.
Pavone told reporters in Amarillo that he was seeking to be
"incardinated," or authorized to work, in another diocese, presumably
one where he could continue his 18-year role as head of the New
York-based Priests for Life.
"I do not foresee myself staying incardinated in Amarillo," Pavone said
Wednesday (Sept. 14) before celebrating Mass at St. Mary's Cathedral in
Amarillo. "It's a sensitive issue. We're working it out behind the
scenes."
