Those are probably for me more important than particular sensitivities which come and go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this week, Catholic priest Father Frank Pavone fired back after being defrocked by the Vatican for allegedly political reasons, charging that his dismissal was due to cancel culture in the Catholic Church that needs \u201cto be exposed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pavone, who is the founder of Priests for Life, has become known for blasting President Biden and Democrats on social media, The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/cancel-culture-in-catholic-church-has-got-to-be-exposed-defrocked-priest-who-ripped-biden-speaks-out\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a>. The Catholic News Agency (CNA) obtained a letter from Archbishop Christophe Pierre to U.S. bishops that claimed Pavone was dismissed for his social media activity and \u201cpersistent disobedience of the lawful instructions of his diocesan bishop.\u201d In an email to the CNA, Pavone said that the news outlet had learned of the move before he had.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, Pavone spoke with Fox News host Laura Ingraham about the news.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is actually the culmination of 21 years of abuse by church authorities to me and to my ministry despite the fact that we help the Vatican,\u201d he said. \u201cWe help to run some of the operations out of the pope\u2019s mission to the United Nations. We help the secretary of state with international pro-life issues. We run the largest ministry for healing after abortion, for which Pope Francis has personally encouraged me to keep going on it. We do all kinds of other pro-life work, which many of our viewers are familiar.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pavone then attributed his apparent dismissal to cancel culture. A 2020 tweet from Pavone referred to \u201csupporters of this goddamn loser Biden and his morally corrupt, America-hating, God-hating Democrat party.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy are they doing this?\u201d he asked. \u201cA lot of it obviously is connected with the cancel culture that comes against supporters of President Trump and critics of the Democrat Party, and we\u2019re only gonna get louder about that. We\u2019re not going to be silenced.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pavone added that he would continue to be a leader in the pro-life movement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy vocation is to be a priest and to be a full-time pro-life leader and I don\u2019t intend to walk away from either one of those,\u201d he stated. Pavone also said he would appeal to the pope to reverse the decision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the pope signs off on something, what they mean is there\u2019s nobody in the church above the pope, we all understand this. But that doesn\u2019t mean there\u2019s no way to change this. The pope himself can reverse it, the next pope can reverse, and the people \u2013 I\u2019m appealing to the people of God to continue working with us and show their support for this work of saving lives and healing hearts,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a cancel culture in the church. It\u2019s got to be exposed and it\u2019s got to be resisted,\u201d Pavone concluded.<\/p>\n<p><em>Hank Berrien contributed to this report.<\/p>\n<p><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Catholic bishop slammed a church choir for altering a popular Christmas carol to include woke ideology and terminology in the song.
