Priests for Life founder Father Frank Pavone has been invited by the liberal
Washington Post to be a regular columnist for their on-line forum on faith.
According to Fr. Pavone, the
Post invited him to write a weekly column for their on-line forum known as "On Faith."
"Each week I will have the opportunity to address a particular topic. Comments are permitted from the public, so I invite you to visit the forum and comment on my articles," Father said in an e-mail.
New columns are usually posted on the site on Tuesdays and heavy traffic on that day will send a strong message to the paper, he said.
"The more of our Priests for Life family participate in this conversation, the more the readers will see the strength of our movement," he said.
The topics of his first few columns include how to break down barriers without compromising beliefs, how the voting booth is not a "moral free zone," the need for more faith and reason, and why Catholics cannot vote for pro-abortion candidates.
All are invited to share their thoughts each week at
