A national pro-life leader is calling for the creation of a new religious community for men, whose charism would be the defense and promotion of life.
The director of Priests for Life, Fr. Frank Pavone, said he is “convinced that the time has come” for such a community.
“I have met numerous young men across the country ready to devote their lives to their unborn brothers and sisters,” he said.
The purpose of the community would not be to take over pro-life work in the country and take away every Christian’s basic call to defend the sanctity of life, but to “raise a trumpet call to the whole Church to give the defense of life the priority it deserves, at every level of Church life and ministry,” he said.
