This Seems Harsh, But...

Perhaps this is why I like and admire this priest so much. He says what is on his mind. There are many times when I want to say the same thing.

Father Frank Pavone, national director of Priests For Life made the following statement responding to a recent press release from the misnamed group 'Catholics for a Free Choice' that claims "faithful practicing Catholics" are not obliged to "follow church positions on issues like abortion, contraception, access to reproductive health services, end of life decision-making, the death penalty, and gay rights."

"Our response is simple. Nobody is forced to be a Catholic, but if you don't subscribe to Catholic teaching, have the honesty and integrity to say that you are no longer Catholic. But don't try to have it both ways. That's a game children play, not adults."
