By Phil Lawler, Catholic Culture - The apostolic nuncio in the US says that Frank Pavone was laicized in early November. Pavone says that, as of mid-December, he had not been informed of the Vatican’s disciplinary action. Something is very wrong here... Bear in mind that we have only heard Pavone’s side of the story. Bishop Patrick Zurek of Amarillo, who initiated canonical proceedings against the pro-life activist, has not commented on the recent announcement.
