From the 2024 Christian Media Convention in Nashville TN., we talk with Father Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, Chairman and Pastoral Director of its Rachel's Vineyard project, and the President of the National Pro-Life Religious Council. In November of 2022, he was defrocked by the Vatican for prioritizing his Pro-Life efforts. Father Frank posted on X, “Hi friends… So, in every profession, including the priesthood, if you defend the #unborn, you will be treated like them! The only difference is that when we are “aborted,” we continue to speak, loud and clear.” Father Frank graduated as valedictorian of his high school class and enrolled at Don Bosco College, a Salesian major seminary in Newton, New Jersey. After leaving the Salesian Order, he joined the Archdiocese of New York.
