The case that could reverse Roe v. Wade.
December 3, 2021 93 Comments
Michael Voris interviews Fr. Frank Pavone and Monica Miller in front of the United States Supreme Court. Father Pavone is the director of Priests for Life, and Miller is the executive director of Citizens for a Pro-Life Society.
Interviews were conducted on Dec. 1, 2021, the same day the Supreme Court heard arguments for the Mississippi case that could reverse Roe v. Wade.
EJ • 12 hours ago We love you so much, Fr Pavone! Thank you for your TIRELESS work to save precious sweet babies.
Anastasia Romanov • 15 hours ago I have known Father Pavone since he started Priests for LIfe back in the 90's. He was maligned by many priests and shunned by them. He is a very holy, kind, and generous priest. He is remarkable in every sense and he is a warrior for Christ.
Dha Dental • 19 hours ago Father Pavone has consistently been shilling for the establishment GOP candidate, often endorsing a candidate even before the primary. I almost fell off my chair when I heard him endorse giving the power to protect life back to the states. Dr. Paul, a pro-life OBGYN, who had the same rational when he ran for president, was shunned by Pavone and the establishment GOP. Our country would not be in the condition we are if real leaders hadn't shilled for the pro-war establishment.
john654 Dha Dental • 18 hours ago • edited Fr. Pavone is a realist. He even has to work against the USCCB!
William Van Duzen john654 • 12 hours ago Most of the US bishops voted for Clinton, Obama, and Biden like most New mass Catholics. They did a poll and New Mass Catholics are of the same mind as pagans as far as abortion. Look it up. I heard it on Church Militant I'm sure but not the first time.

Eva Marie Bryde • 21 hours ago • edited Satan's very resourceful. Females were thrown under the bus with the advent of the Pill, magazines like Cosmopolitan, R and X rated movies, the radio and rock music about "love-making", getting your own car keys at 16, the availability of drugs and alchohol, peer pressure, television, and parents asleep at the wheel. For many "good Catholic girls," what was once a sweet good-night kiss under the porch light became a drunken roll in the hay in the back of a van. The drinking age in many states was lowered to 18 and fake ID's were easy for 16 years olds to obtain that worked just as well at the bars as they did at Planned Parenthood. Many men and women are now realizing that the "pursuit of happiness" brought them misery, depression, loneliness, self-loathing and abandonment. Many of our youth have come to realize the mistakes of their parents and hunger for integrity and truth, but Satan's still the prince of this world, and now the damn cell phones are dragging people to hell. The ironic thing is that abortion is perceived as a way to liberation of body, mind, and spirit and it does the exact opposite. But I guess Dorothy has to find out for herself.
JR Eva Marie Bryde • 18 hours ago • edited Bottom line is the parenting. In this day and age cellphones are necessary. But there are apps so the parents can check where their teens are at all times. Also, the parents can spot check the phones to see what apps are on there and what they're watching; to make sure they're not looking at or posting inappropriate things. Parents can set rules for places they can go, who they can go with and when to be back home. The kids may not like to be monitored, but that's part of being a good parent. Same thing about kids "mouthing off" to the parents. Should never be tolerated.
Eva Marie Bryde JR • 14 hours ago • edited My poor sweet parents. My father's hobby was buying and repairing Volkswagons, so there was always all these cars around for us kids to drive. My mother worked full time after having nine children and she was perpetually exhausted. I was a consummate liar and knew how to manipulate them. They loved and trusted their children. I betrayed their trust and paid the price for it.
john654 Eva Marie Bryde • 21 hours ago Eva, "getting your own car keys at 16". That was a BIG one. We don't hear enough about that even here a CM.
Eva Marie Bryde john654 • 20 hours ago • edited "Hey Mom, I'm going over to Beth's to study and spend the night. See you tomorrow!"
(Instead head over to the baseball stadium and then to the visiting teams hotel afterward to party.)

CG1066 • a day ago • edited I still have the pic taken of my daughter (5 yrs old?) with Fr. Pavone at Mother Angelica studio's after watching a live TV recording. Over 20 years ago, all that time being the pro-life message, etc. and now
we are at the pinnacle. I never thought this day would come. Go to adoration today folks. Ask God's mercy wherever you are....
Diane • a day ago Sex, ONLY in marriage, between one man and one woman and always opened to life. Any and all other sexual relationships are mortally sinful and not of God. Our Priests, Bishops, Cardinals and the Pope must get on that pulpit and teach this over and over and over again. Teach about the mortal sins of abortion, infanticide, contraception, homosexuality and transgenderism. It must be spoken loud and clear for the World to hear, not just Catholics. It is up to the Catholic Church, the One and Only Truth to be out there. We must be outspoken about those 222 Bishops who voted to continue to allow receiving the Holy Eucharist sacrilegiously. I am so outraged by this!
I just spoke to a friend who was raised a Catholic but no longer is because she is divorced twice and married three time. She is a big Bible person and she told me that I just need to stop being outraged and give it all to God and give up the fight. She said that it is only my opinion. That made me angry because it is not just my opinion it is the teachings of Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church. I told her that I was confirmed as a Soldier of Christ and I will never give up. She thinks that is wrong. Sorry, just venting! Not a good morning so far.
Robbi Diane • 20 hours ago Glad you worked that out of your system. It's certain; that kind of frustration and upset makes people sick. No apology necessary.
Rush Glick Diane • 21 hours ago Sadly, your friend is WILLFULLY blind and has created her own religion that follows HER desires. If she is truly "a big Bible person," ask her to point out where she thinks her ideas are validated; the woman at the well, perhaps!
CG1066 Diane • a day ago Regarding your friend - never stop being outraged! You are saving so many souls you are not even aware of even by just having that good intention. The Fatima visionary Lucia, had numerous visions/locutions during her life. She stated even tho their were only a few Bishops who consecrated Russia to her Immaculate Heart it dramatically shortened WWII!!!!! Keep on keeping on faithful servant !!!!
CG1066 Diane • a day ago • edited The different "rites" within the churches themselves teach different aspect of what is a marriage! Back in the day, I was taught (and they still do) that the couple themselves put the vows on each other, and the priest "just" blesses it. But later learned if one of the couple deceives the other it was never a marriage (marriage right intention of two always needed). During the church/sacraments covid lockdown the 20 somethings kids all used that as an excuse to move in together - no priests to marry them and they believe they are "married" spiritually anyhow. The Eastern rite (Ukraine) under the Pope, does "not" believe that - instead they believe (their tradition) that the priest gives the sacrament of marriage to the couple. Its interesting when you read how the Jewish people got married in the time of Christ.....
Michael Aiello • a day ago Dr. Miller,
Sexual activity outside of marriage, resulting in unwanted pregnancy and lack of support, will only end when our priests and bishops start preaching about this, and giving our young people direction about proper conduct before and during marriage.
Robbi Michael Aiello • 20 hours ago How can so many teach it when they can't live it? The whole situation surrounding the fake religious unwilling to abide by Jesus Christ seems to negate so much of what was once taught. The hypocrisy removes their credibility, doesn't it?
Michael Aiello Robbi • 20 hours ago They just won’t preach about this and other pertinent issues.
That’s why their parishes are dying. No young people. Few children. Laity over age 70.
May they die a merciful death.
Unprofitable Servant • a day ago Thank you Fr Pavone, please intercede for the least of your people Lord Jesus.
Leo D Lion • a day ago At 3pm immerse yourself in His Ocean of Unfathomable Mercy.
At 3pm remember His Bitter Passion.
Pray - o'blood and water which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus , have Mercy on us.
Memorize and dwell shortly ir as your time permits...
Jesus is condemned to die,
Jesus carrys the cross
Jesus falls carrying the crosd
Jesus meets His mother
The cyrine helps Jesus carry the cross
Veronica wipes the face of Jesus
Jesus falls again carrying the cross.
Jesus speaks to women if Jerusalem
Jesus falls again carrying the cross
Jesus is stripped of his garments
Jesus is nailed to the cross
Jesus dies on the cross
Jesus us taken down from the cross
Jesus is placed in the tomb.
Remember Him at 3pm as above and He Will Remember you.
JudeZoe • a day ago Thank you, MV and CM for profiling these two beautiful crusaders of the unborn. I agree wholeheartedly with Monica Miller when she stressed how important it is to teach the dignity of true sexuality which would prevent so many abortions. Abortion is used as a means of birth control for many in this horror show and throw away society. "It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish" St. Teresa of Calcutta+
Wildfire • a day ago Frank Pavone moved the HQ of Priests for Life to Amarillo, TX, in the early 2000's, when Yanta was bishop. At that time they were setting up a seminary in the city for priests wanting to join Priests for Life, which would have been a great boon for the diocese (it is chronically short of priests, to the effect that pedophiles were brought from treatment facilities in NM to fill in for a while in the 1980's and 1990's) Bishop Yanta was forced to retire, and was replaced by Patrick Zurek. Bishop Zurek immediately demanded Priests for Life turn over all moneys, donations, and control over to himself, cancelled the seminary, and publicly accused Fr. Pavone of fraud (causing funding issues for years for Priests for Life, and making them to relocate to Florida).
Bishop Zurek was one of the authors of the infamous 2004 letter on child abuse in the church that exempted Bishops from the requirements placed on priests and the laity. He talks a good game about being pro-life at fund raisers, but is all about money, having deliberately killed the Diocesan Natural Family Planning program and other life-based programs and diverted funding from those programs to "other uses". Most recently, he has banned parishes from saying the "St. Michael Prayer" after masses.
JohnnyCuredents Wildfire • a day ago Thanks for the info about Zurek. We really need a similar portrait of everyone in the mitered class across the land..... make that across the world.
JohnnyCuredents CG1066 • 2 hours ago Good question. Personally, I would use it to weigh the seriousness and fundament of future appeals for money from his chancery, to assess his efforts to protect unborn life, to judge how politically biased his opinions may be regardless of what religious cloak he uses to cover them... In other words, it's best to know if the man you're facing is in fact a wolf or a hard-working canine. They look a bit alike, but they don't act alike.
Robbi CG1066 • 20 hours ago What a story. Has determination in the fight and has beaten obstacles few know about. Considering his history you've outlined; how is he considered pro-live? His own admission? Very contradictory.
CG1066 Robbi • 20 hours ago Are you talking about Archbishop Zurek? I don't believe for one second he's pro-life. I think he used that as a cover along with accusing Fr. Pavone to stop the movement. But what do I know?
denise Wildfire • a day ago • edited I've come to the conclusion its best to accept that anywhere good is manifested within the catholic church, or elsewhere, there is a counter balance of evil that will work to overturn good works such as with Father Frank Pavone.
What a nasty evil Bishop this Zurek is. Similar to Spellman in NYC sparring with a real Bishop, Bishop Fulton Sheen, over funds from his media work. Well as I've heard said God loves a fighter.
Leo D Lion • a day ago The homilies of of our priest and deacon? Reminds me of cheap car wax, the next storm washes the shine away.
The question - Hows your new priest?
Answer - he's ok .. but his homilies barely scratch the surface...
If you know what I mean!
Robbi CG1066 • 20 hours ago How many will Sotomayor have? That sea of little murdered souls will be there to meet all who ever supported their demise.
john654 • a day ago • edited Bishop Lori made a statement, SO DAMN WHAT! I'm not going to cut the Bishops any slack. The VICIOUS, NASTY, SINFUL, SILENCE, from the Clergy for DECADES is the problem.
I remember when Fr. Pavone started Priest For Life. I thought what is up with that name? All Priest should be PRIEST FOR LIFE! Bishop Gomez just put out another "Seamless Garment" statement. I said this here yesterday, these LIP SERVICE catholics are going to be the ones that turn us over to be Martyred.
I am ASHAMED of liberal bishops, clergy and laity who have sold us out to the world.
VIVA CRISTO REY!
Baseballmomof8 john654 • a day ago Interesting John, I thought the same thing when “Priests For Life” began…. I was thinking “what the heck?????? Aren’t all Priests FOR Life?????” It truly baffled me.
john654 Baseballmomof8 • a day ago • edited Thank God you are a Mom of 8. That's how many Kids my Daughter, Elizabeth, has. As of now, I think, HA!
john654 Baseballmomof8 • a day ago It just blew my mind. WELL, we know now that all Clergy are NOT Pro-Life.
K S • a day ago The 64 million dollar question is will the 6 Catholics on the court actually vote as Catholics or as politicians, their true allegiance is about to be revealed-respect and honor for Jesus as the first and foremost or is man the supreme ruler? They will either set a new course not only for America but also for the world. I honestly wonder if they have any idea of the tight rope they are walking?
CatholicFirefighter • a day ago "Judges ... you cant really separate your public life from your faith life."
- Fr. Frank Pavone
Why? The bishops do it all the time ...
Peter Arnone • a day ago Those who love God love truth. Jesus said he is the way, THE TRUTH, and the life. As Monica Miller quoted Martin Luther King, "A lie cannot live forever."
St. Joan • a day ago In 2008 my wife and I saw a movie about just this subject, fighting for life. It was titled, "Children of Men". It showed a future in which through chemical abuse, industrial waste and human experimentation (vaccines?) All women had become infertile and the world had slipped into a dystopian madness and anarchy because with no future there is no hope. I won't give away the ending except to say a fight for life is a fight for the future and hope.
JR Tampa Retrograde • 18 hours ago As an aside, that comes from the so-called "Prayer of Saint Francis". But the truth is, St. Francis didn't write that prayer. He died some 800 years ago and it's in none of his writings. The first time it appeared was in the early 1900s in France and was called "A Nice Prayer to Say During Mass". Somebody put the prayer on the back of a holy card that had a picture of St. Francis on the other side. So, people assumed he wrote it. Also, the English version skips several lines found in the original French.
William Knox • a day ago Dr. Miller, who may come across as this nice little lady, used to dumptster-dive to recover the bodies of the aborted. Her book, Abandoned, if not the best book on abortion, does the best job of conveying how bizarrely disturbing the world of abortion is.
CatholicFirefighter William Knox • a day ago It's incredible to know Dr. Miller explored refuse containers for the precious bodies of the unborn.
William Knox CatholicFirefighter • a day ago Thirty of those precious bodies were buried at Assumption Grotto Cemetery in Detroit, which I believe is Michael V.'s and Fr. Perrone's parish.
CatholicFirefighter William Knox • a day ago Truthfully, it is extremely difficult for me to wrap my mind around such horror. And that comes from a Career Firefighter/AEMT, who has seen more death and destruction than he would readily admit to.
springfieldlp • a day ago Excellent interviews by such intelligent and faithful people. I pray for Father Pavone every day along with all of the other persecuted priests which I recite by name. There are several.
Pray for a just verdict. I prayed every day also for a just verdict for Kyle Rittenhouse and his family and God answered us wonderfully. Pray for our justices that the Holy Spirit will enter their minds and hearts as they make their decision. Perhaps Justice Sotomayor is in most need of our prayers as her utterances demonstrate that she is the most disordered and immoral on the bench citing her priorities being the public perception of the court and its survivability over the lives of the innocents.
On December 28th we shall celebrate, as we do every year, the memorial of the Holy Innocents that were slaughtered by King Herod in his futile and barbaric attempt to abort Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ in His infancy. Our civilization continues the slaughter of innocents and yet we absurdly seem to justify it because the murder is committed just prior to the first breath outside the womb. The rationality of moral relativism. God is watching us. God is watching you, our dear Justices.
Also, please pray for one other innocent, 14 year old Ryan Rogers of Florida and his family. Ryan was stabbed to death as he ventured out for a ride on his bike. A suspect has been caught and it would appear there is no motive other than the sport of killing an unarmed innocent child. Not much different than the motive in the Kenosha multiple murder at the parade. My apologies for this but I am beginning to think that BLM really stands for Black Lives Murder.
Stan • a day ago Father Pavone is on fire! While the US bishops and cardinals - predictably - are missing in action. Who needs false prophets and false shepherds? It's better to have no prophets than false prophets.
And Dr. Monica Miller is right on the target (@4:50) about what the right to butcher a baby is all about: a consequence-free hanky panky. Listen to that Cupich, McElroy, and the US bishops: Abortion is all about consequence-free hanky panky.
CG1066 Stan • a day ago • edited They think their lives are "consequence free" as they have the hope that all men go to heaven and thus undermine anything that would support otherwise. By our lives or "reflection" alone, it shines a light so bright on their evil they rather harm us than look at or admit to this evil.
CatholicFirefighter Stan • a day ago • edited Fr. Pavone is active on the front lines while the bishops are found to be in dereliction of duty.
CG1066 CatholicFirefighter • a day ago Not only dereliction of duty, I'm afraid to say it, but some are outright derelicts....
Tom Kaye Stan • a day ago • edited Exactly Stan. The Mrs. and I had a quiet, late dinner last night and that's all we discussed. The unwillingness to take responsibility for one's behavior is a sure sign of stunted developement. Some of us learned that lesson early in life. For some of us it took a little longer. Some of us never learned it at all.
That our hirelings were missing in action came as no surprise to us. Our guess was that there was either no one there to shake down for money or they thought that no one from the Grindr crowd would be there. Those are the two factors that seem to be the reason for their existence these days. Fullness of the priesthood? I don't think they even know what that means.
CatholicFirefighter Tom Kaye • a day ago It took me 20 years to get back on track.
Praise Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, for waiting for me!
Tom Kaye • a day ago • edited The take away . . . You cannot separate your public life from your faith life and we must PERSEVERE. We absolutely must persevere.This horror story is gonna end. But, paraphrasing St. Paul, we've gotta run this race to the finish line. We must struggle to stay in the state of sanctifying grace, personally. Frequent Confession and Holy Communion and always staying faithful to our baptismal and confirmation promises. We all have what it takes to succeed. We ARE the Church Militant and we are one.
We have the prayers of the Church Triumphant. We have the prayers of the Church Suffering (and let's never forget them either). Lethargy is not in our vocabulary. We all have a job to do. The time has come to really crank it up a notch or two and get busy ad majorem dei gloriam. And here's a big secret. Wear out the Morning Offering throughout the day AND evening. Storm heaven with that prayer.
EXCELSIOR !

Tom Kaye CatholicFirefighter • a day ago One of their biggest woriies is "Do we have enough ushers to pass the basket this Sunday?".
Lucy • a day ago Dr. Miller is right that we definitely need evangelization on the life issues. ✝️ People have to be taught about the sanctity of life, that the body is sacred, that abortion is murder, that murder is one of the sins that cries out to Heaven for vengeance. Hopefully abortion will be illegal, and contraception, IVF, euthanasia, and same-marriage should be illegal, too. None of these things should have ever been legal in the first place. I’m sure that until all these things are illegal, we will not have liberty and justice for all in the United States of America. Abortion, contraception, IVF, euthanasia, and same sex marriage are evil , and an abomination.

denise Lucy • a day ago • edited If for nothing else governments around the world are acknowledging that with reduced or reversed population growth comes more poverty. This is an economic fact based on lower demand for resources balanced against the drive for profit and a better life. God our Creator built this into our DNA along with our love of freedom.

Thank you Fr Frank Pavone! You've been in this fight a long time.
The Church was right there after this decision BASED ON LIES was handed down.
Evangelicals gave the Catholic Church credit for living out their faith. Gov Mike Huckabee pointed that out on his program this year!
This was purely political with wives of those activist judges pleading with their spouses THE NIGHT BEFORE to vote in favor to begin the killing of family members with the government's approval....
It's been 48 long hard years with souls trying to soften the damage done from
government betraying the nuclear family.
Talk about Chastisement! Russia championed abortion three years after Fatima
in 1920. Stalin furthered the punishing by enlisting Communist agents to infiltrate
the Catholic Church to destroy her moral authority and God given right to defend
and protect the weaker souls in society.
Russia has spread her errors worldwide.
How do we like American Marxism? Biden is the front man for this scourge reaching down to the children, families.
If they can't poison children's minds with CRT and sexual filth and grooming,
they're doing masks and unhealthy jabs for children who don't need them.
We are 'Fighting for Life' and will continue to do so at all stages to give souls hope.

This was imported to the seminaries in the US beginning, I believe, in the 1930s, which helps explain the horrific state of things in today's Church. Stalin knew that to bring down a nation from within, the family and the Church must be destroyed. (Need we wonder why the beatification of Bishop Sheen, a staunch anti-communist, has been "postponed" since 2019?)
JuanOskar JayMaynes • a day ago A wonderful and blessed interview. If those five our six Catholic judges don't vote pro-life I wouldn't want to be them on 'judgement day.'

The Eastern rite (Ukraine) under the Pope, does "not" believe that - instead they believe (their tradition) that the priest gives the sacrament of marriage to the couple. Its interesting when you read how the Jewish people got married in the time of Christ.....
Michael Aiello • a day ago Dr. Miller,
Sexual activity outside of marriage, resulting in unwanted pregnancy and lack of support, will only end when our priests and bishops start preaching about this, and giving our young people direction about proper conduct before and during marriage.Robbi Michael Aiello • 20 hours ago How can so many teach it when they can't live it? The whole situation surrounding the fake religious unwilling to abide by Jesus Christ seems to negate so much of what was once taught. The hypocrisy removes their credibility, doesn't it?
Michael Aiello Robbi • 20 hours ago They just won’t preach about this and other pertinent issues.
That’s why their parishes are dying. No young people. Few children. Laity over age 70.
May they die a merciful death.
Unprofitable Servant • a day ago Thank you Fr Pavone, please intercede for the least of your people Lord Jesus.

JudeZoe • a day ago Thank you, MV and CM for profiling these two beautiful crusaders of the unborn. I agree wholeheartedly with Monica Miller when she stressed how important it is to teach the dignity of true sexuality which would prevent so many abortions. Abortion is used as a means of birth control for many in this horror show and throw away society. "It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish" St. Teresa of Calcutta+
Wildfire • a day ago Frank Pavone moved the HQ of Priests for Life to Amarillo, TX, in the early 2000's, when Yanta was bishop. At that time they were setting up a seminary in the city for priests wanting to join Priests for Life, which would have been a great boon for the diocese (it is chronically short of priests, to the effect that pedophiles were brought from treatment facilities in NM to fill in for a while in the 1980's and 1990's) Bishop Yanta was forced to retire, and was replaced by Patrick Zurek. Bishop Zurek immediately demanded Priests for Life turn over all moneys, donations, and control over to himself, cancelled the seminary, and publicly accused Fr. Pavone of fraud (causing funding issues for years for Priests for Life, and making them to relocate to Florida).
Bishop Zurek was one of the authors of the infamous 2004 letter on child abuse in the church that exempted Bishops from the requirements placed on priests and the laity. He talks a good game about being pro-life at fund raisers, but is all about money, having deliberately killed the Diocesan Natural Family Planning program and other life-based programs and diverted funding from those programs to "other uses". Most recently, he has banned parishes from saying the "St. Michael Prayer" after masses.
JohnnyCuredents Wildfire • a day ago Thanks for the info about Zurek. We really need a similar portrait of everyone in the mitered class across the land..... make that across the world.
JohnnyCuredents CG1066 • 2 hours ago Good question. Personally, I would use it to weigh the seriousness and fundament of future appeals for money from his chancery, to assess his efforts to protect unborn life, to judge how politically biased his opinions may be regardless of what religious cloak he uses to cover them... In other words, it's best to know if the man you're facing is in fact a wolf or a hard-working canine. They look a bit alike, but they don't act alike.
Robbi CG1066 • 20 hours ago What a story. Has determination in the fight and has beaten obstacles few know about. Considering his history you've outlined; how is he considered pro-live? His own admission? Very contradictory.
CG1066 Robbi • 20 hours ago Are you talking about Archbishop Zurek? I don't believe for one second he's pro-life. I think he used that as a cover along with accusing Fr. Pavone to stop the movement. But what do I know?
denise Wildfire • a day ago • edited I've come to the conclusion its best to accept that anywhere good is manifested within the catholic church, or elsewhere, there is a counter balance of evil that will work to overturn good works such as with Father Frank Pavone.
What a nasty evil Bishop this Zurek is. Similar to Spellman in NYC sparring with a real Bishop, Bishop Fulton Sheen, over funds from his media work. Well as I've heard said God loves a fighter.
Leo D Lion • a day ago The homilies of of our priest and deacon? Reminds me of cheap car wax, the next storm washes the shine away.
The question - Hows your new priest?
Answer - he's ok .. but his homilies barely scratch the surface...

john654 • a day ago • edited Bishop Lori made a statement, SO DAMN WHAT! I'm not going to cut the Bishops any slack. The VICIOUS, NASTY, SINFUL, SILENCE, from the Clergy for DECADES is the problem.
I remember when Fr. Pavone started Priest For Life. I thought what is up with that name? All Priest should be PRIEST FOR LIFE! Bishop Gomez just put out another "Seamless Garment" statement. I said this here yesterday, these LIP SERVICE catholics are going to be the ones that turn us over to be Martyred.
I am ASHAMED of liberal bishops, clergy and laity who have sold us out to the world.
VIVA CRISTO REY!
Baseballmomof8 john654 • a day ago Interesting John, I thought the same thing when “Priests For Life” began…. I was thinking “what the heck?????? Aren’t all Priests FOR Life?????” It truly baffled me.

K S • a day ago The 64 million dollar question is will the 6 Catholics on the court actually vote as Catholics or as politicians, their true allegiance is about to be revealed-respect and honor for Jesus as the first and foremost or is man the supreme ruler?

Peter Arnone • a day ago Those who love God love truth. Jesus said he is the way, THE TRUTH, and the life. As Monica Miller quoted Martin Luther King, "A lie cannot live forever."
St. Joan • a day ago In 2008 my wife and I saw a movie about just this subject, fighting for life. It was titled, "Children of Men". It showed a future in which through chemical abuse, industrial waste and human experimentation (vaccines?) All women had become infertile and the world had slipped into a dystopian madness and anarchy because with no future there is no hope. I won't give away the ending except to say a fight for life is a fight for the future and hope.
JR Tampa Retrograde • 18 hours ago As an aside, that comes from the so-called "Prayer of Saint Francis". But the truth is, St. Francis didn't write that prayer. He died some 800 years ago and it's in none of his writings. The first time it appeared was in the early 1900s in France and was called "A Nice Prayer to Say During Mass". Somebody put the prayer on the back of a holy card that had a picture of St. Francis on the other side. So, people assumed he wrote it. Also, the English version skips several lines found in the original French.
William Knox • a day ago Dr. Miller, who may come across as this nice little lady, used to dumptster-dive to recover the bodies of the aborted. Her book, Abandoned, if not the best book on abortion, does the best job of conveying how bizarrely disturbing the world of abortion is.
CatholicFirefighter William Knox • a day ago It's incredible to know Dr. Miller explored refuse containers for the precious bodies of the unborn.
William Knox CatholicFirefighter • a day ago Thirty of those precious bodies were buried at Assumption Grotto Cemetery in Detroit, which I believe is Michael V.'s and Fr. Perrone's parish.
CatholicFirefighter William Knox • a day ago Truthfully, it is extremely difficult for me to wrap my mind around such horror. And that comes from a Career Firefighter/AEMT, who has seen more death and destruction than he would readily admit to.
springfieldlp • a day ago Excellent interviews by such intelligent and faithful people. I pray for Father Pavone every day along with all of the other persecuted priests which I recite by name. There are several.
Pray for a just verdict. I prayed every day also for a just verdict for Kyle Rittenhouse and his family and God answered us wonderfully. Pray for our justices that the Holy Spirit will enter their minds and hearts as they make their decision. Perhaps Justice Sotomayor is in most need of our prayers as her utterances demonstrate that she is the most disordered and immoral on the bench citing her priorities being the public perception of the court and its survivability over the lives of the innocents.
On December 28th we shall celebrate, as we do every year, the memorial of the Holy Innocents that were slaughtered by King Herod in his futile and barbaric attempt to abort Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ in His infancy. Our civilization continues the slaughter of innocents and yet we absurdly seem to justify it because the murder is committed just prior to the first breath outside the womb. The rationality of moral relativism. God is watching us. God is watching you, our dear Justices.
Also, please pray for one other innocent, 14 year old Ryan Rogers of Florida and his family. Ryan was stabbed to death as he ventured out for a ride on his bike. A suspect has been caught and it would appear there is no motive other than the sport of killing an unarmed innocent child. Not much different than the motive in the Kenosha multiple murder at the parade. My apologies for this but I am beginning to think that BLM really stands for Black Lives Murder.
Stan • a day ago Father Pavone is on fire! While the US bishops and cardinals - predictably - are missing in action. Who needs false prophets and false shepherds? It's better to have no prophets than false prophets.
And Dr. Monica Miller is right on the target (@4:50) about what the right to butcher a baby is all about: a consequence-free hanky panky. Listen to that Cupich, McElroy, and the US bishops: Abortion is all about consequence-free hanky panky.
CG1066 Stan • a day ago • edited They think their lives are "consequence free" as they have the hope that all men go to heaven and thus undermine anything that would support otherwise. By our lives or "reflection" alone, it shines a light so bright on their evil they rather harm us than look at or admit to this evil.
CatholicFirefighter Stan • a day ago • edited Fr. Pavone is active on the front lines while the bishops are found to be in dereliction of duty.
CG1066 CatholicFirefighter • a day ago Not only dereliction of duty, I'm afraid to say it, but some are outright derelicts....
Tom Kaye Stan • a day ago • edited Exactly Stan. The Mrs. and I had a quiet, late dinner last night and that's all we discussed. The unwillingness to take responsibility for one's behavior is a sure sign of stunted developement. Some of us learned that lesson early in life. For some of us it took a little longer. Some of us never learned it at all.
That our hirelings were missing in action came as no surprise to us. Our guess was that there was either no one there to shake down for money or they thought that no one from the Grindr crowd would be there. Those are the two factors that seem to be the reason for their existence these days. Fullness of the priesthood? I don't think they even know what that means.
CatholicFirefighter Tom Kaye • a day ago It took me 20 years to get back on track.
Praise Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, for waiting for me!
Tom Kaye • a day ago • edited The take away . . . You cannot separate your public life from your faith life and we must PERSEVERE. We absolutely must persevere.This horror story is gonna end. But, paraphrasing St. Paul, we've gotta run this race to the finish line. We must struggle to stay in the state of sanctifying grace, personally. Frequent Confession and Holy Communion and always staying faithful to our baptismal and confirmation promises. We all have what it takes to succeed. We ARE the Church Militant and we are one.
We have the prayers of the Church Triumphant. We have the prayers of the Church Suffering (and let's never forget them either). Lethargy is not in our vocabulary. We all have a job to do. The time has come to really crank it up a notch or two and get busy ad majorem dei gloriam. And here's a big secret. Wear out the Morning Offering throughout the day AND evening. Storm heaven with that prayer.
EXCELSIOR !
CHARRRRRRRGE !

Tom Kaye CatholicFirefighter • a day ago One of their biggest woriies is "Do we have enough ushers to pass the basket this Sunday?".
Lucy • a day ago Dr. Miller is right that we definitely need evangelization on the life issues. ✝️ People have to be taught about the sanctity of life, that the body is sacred, that abortion is murder, that murder is one of the sins that cries out to Heaven for vengeance. Hopefully abortion will be illegal, and contraception, IVF, euthanasia, and same-marriage should be illegal, too. None of these things should have ever been legal in the first place. I’m sure that until all these things are illegal, we will not have liberty and justice for all in the United States of America. Abortion, contraception, IVF, euthanasia, and same sex marriage are evil , and an abomination.
Michelle Campbell Lucy • a day ago That hideous dark 'penumbra' falsely known as 'rights'.
'Rights'? Dark LICENSE, not liberty. 🌒denise Lucy • a day ago • edited If for nothing else governments around the world are acknowledging that with reduced or reversed population growth comes more poverty. This is an economic fact based on lower demand for resources balanced against the drive for profit and a better life. God our Creator built this into our DNA along with our love of freedom.

Thank you Fr Frank Pavone! You've been in this fight a long time.
The Church was right there after this decision BASED ON LIES was handed down.
Evangelicals gave the Catholic Church credit for living out their faith. Gov Mike Huckabee pointed that out on his program this year!
This was purely political with wives of those activist judges pleading with their spouses THE NIGHT BEFORE to vote in favor to begin the killing of family members with the government's approval....
It's been 48 long hard years with souls trying to soften the damage done from
government betraying the nuclear family.
Talk about Chastisement! Russia championed abortion three years after Fatima
in 1920. Stalin furthered the punishing by enlisting Communist agents to infiltrate
the Catholic Church to destroy her moral authority and God given right to defend
and protect the weaker souls in society.
Russia has spread her errors worldwide.
How do we like American Marxism? Biden is the front man for this scourge reaching down to the children, families.
If they can't poison children's minds with CRT and sexual filth and grooming,
they're doing masks and unhealthy jabs for children who don't need them.
We are 'Fighting for Life' and will continue to do so at all stages to give souls hope.

Rush Glick Michelle Campbell • a day ago "Stalin furthered the punishing by enlisting Communist agents to infiltrate
the Catholic Church to destroy her moral authority and God given right to defend

Stalin knew that to bring down a nation from within, the family and the Church must be destroyed. (Need we wonder why the beatification of Bishop Sheen, a staunch anti-communist, has been "postponed" since 2019?)
JuanOskar JayMaynes • a day ago A wonderful and blessed interview. If those five our six Catholic judges don't vote pro-life I wouldn't want to be them on 'judgement day.'
They will have a great retirement pension but when they die there will be a 'hot place.' And it won't be Phoenix, Arizona.
CatholicFirefighter JuanOskar JayMaynes • a day ago Many bishops turn a deaf ear to Church Teachings, let's hope Catholic judges ignore them and don't follow their bad example.
