Priests and People for Life by Dr. James Dobson

December 13-14, 2023
Guest: Frank Pavone

Part 1
In November 2022, Frank Pavone was notified by the Vatican that he was “defrocked” and officially removed from the priesthood. As a result, he could no longer be referred to as “Father,” or publicly celebrate Mass in Catholic churches. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson and Pavone discuss the implications of his removal, and why he now has a renewed interest and commitment to fight for the sanctity of life. 1 Corinthians 15:58 says, “Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.”

Part 2
During His earthly ministry, Jesus reached out to the marginalized of His day, such as the lepers, the Samaritans, and the tax collectors. Inspired by Jesus’ example, Frank Pavone has led Priests for Life for 30 years to save vulnerable, pre-born children. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Pavone points out that if Jesus is Lord of human life, then babies in the womb are sacred. And, by definition, the mother, the father, the doctor, and the government should all affirm God’s highest creation. Matthew 25:40 says, “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’”
