Title makes it sound like he was dismissed for being pro-life. It was done because of “blasphemous communications on social media.”
Pavone is the national director of Priests for Life, Inc, which is not a Catholic organization. In that role, according to CNA, he has a long history of conflicts with bishops.
“Father Pavone was given ample opportunity to defend himself in the canonical proceedings, and he was also given multiple opportunities to submit himself to the authority of his diocesan bishop,”
Another fact is that he also brushed his teeth. Was he dismissed for that too? You are being prejudicial. You can't apply such political baseness to the Church, much less when it comes to canon law.
All priests are required to be pro-life, most prefer political conservatism and many were in favor of Trump.
To clarify, this seems to be the blasphemous communication in question:
In November 2016, Pavone filmed a video at the Priests for Life headquarters, urging support for Trump. The video was staged with the body of an aborted baby laid before Pavone on what appeared to be an altar.
Pavone says the video did not use a consecrated altar, but it was the actual body of an aborted baby, given to him for burial.

That is what the Vatican claims.
The facts of the matter are that this priest is extremely pro-life and he has openly supported many Republicans including Donald Trump.
You seriously going to say that these two facts did not play any role in his dismissal.

I agree. He was busted out because he bucked his superiors, period.
When the Pope is socialist and Jesuit…idk

Where did you get that? I mean, that it was that thing specifically?
It's in the article.
