The Catholic Clash in the Big Apple: Priests for Life vs. Cardinal Dolan

Hope all is well as we are “6” days away from the “The Most Significant Birthday Party in the World”…Yes, that little baby humbly born in a manger over 2,000 years ago changed the entire world – this one and the next one…

And, speaking of babies – let’s take a good, close look at what’s happening in the “City that never Sleeps” – New York. I said “never sleeps” – not “never sleeps around” – because with the abortion rate in the Big Apple the way it is today – somebody is doing some serious sleeping around…

Cardinal Timothy Dolan – Archbishop of New York.

And, because of this promiscuous lifestyle of this liberal and artistic city (which is also a leader in Gay Marriages in the U.S.) – two prominent and well-known Catholic priests have been at each other for quite some time now. Meet the bold & serious Father Frank Pavone – President of Priests for Life and known as “The most Pro-Life priest on the planet”. Meet the jovial and controversial Cardinal Timothy Dolan – Archbishop of New York and “clown prince of the USCCB”, as well as the Grand Marshall for the St. Patrick’s Day Gay Parade, to be held on March 17th, 2015.

Quite a contrast, folks. And, because of the leadership in New York City – with the Pro-Abortion Governor Andrew Cuomo and Pro-Everything Liberal, Mayor Bill Deblasio, you can just imagine how tough it is for Father Pavone to run his Priests for Life ministry in Staten Island with this background. While Father Pavone is working with Pro-Lifers in New York and trying to do away with abortion and all the other intrinsic evils that attack our church – Cardinal Dolan is hanging out with Cuomo and Deblasio, getting ready to lead the St. Patrick’s Day Gay Parade and allowing the 5 burroughs to look more like Sodom and Gomorrah. Folks, when your own archbishop of New York is just as liberal as the governor and mayor of your workplace – you’ve got your hands full and something’s gotta give…

So, take a look at the David Gibson article “Cardinal Timothy Dolan cuts ties with anti-abortion crusader Frank Pavone“, which breaks it all down for us and just see for yourself. It is a tough dilemma, as how do you punish or reprimand the most dedicated and most eccentric Pro-Life priest in our country when he truly has made such a huge difference in the Pro-Life movement in the United States? Why would his own archbishop come after him with a vengeance, question his integrity, honesty and money management, and cut him off totally and not even acknowledge his ministry any more? When a courageous priest like Father Pavone – who is doing GOD’s work to the Nth degree, in Protecting the Most Vulnerable – why would he be chastised and chased out of town when he puts his own life on the line day in and day out to save other lives?

Is this all about greed? is it about jealousy? Is it about pride? Three of the most horrific sins that confront mankind today and three of Satan’s favorite. How can two prominent, internationally known Catholic priests and leaders in their field, come to a level this low? In the end, does anybody win? Who do you think loses? You guessed it – the Innocent Unborn…

When our own Catholic leaders attack one another and lose focus on the task at hand – saving babies and saving souls – nobody wins…only the devil. This is what Satan lives for. He is the ring leader and announcer any time two Catholics step into the ring…and Satan is all about the “ring of fire” (just like the Johnny Cash classic). Whether it is a fight in New York City over personalities, money, control and power with Father Pavone & Cardinal Dolan – or a local struggle right here in our own Diocese of Palm Beach with the controversy a few years ago at Miracle House (Birthline/Lifeline vs. First Care) – nobody but the devil wins…and GOD’s creation loses…

Remember: We are all in this “Two-Gether” and it does not matter what Faith or walk of life you are from when it comes to saving babies. The goal is to save them and to do it all for His Glory.

And, fellow American citizens – until we understand that philosophy and turn from our wicked ways & humble ourselves – swallow our pride and steer away from the need for selfish motives – we will continue to work for the devil – and he will continue to cheer us on…and New York will continue to perform over 70,000 abortions per year, while our own Palm Beach County will surpass the 5,808 that were performed in 2013. That’s 5,808 innocent babies that we let down and did not come to their rescue right in our own backyard…Need I say anymore?
