From New York Post:
Two booted Catholic clerics — including a defrocked Staten Island priest who once put an aborted fetus on an altar — told The Post they are hoping for a Hail Mary reinstatement from the new pontiff.
New York native and former Father Frank Pavone, an ardent right-to-lifer who posted photos of the remains of the fetus online, was stripped of his clergy status by the late Pope Francis in 2022 for alleged “blasphemous” social media posts and “persistent disobedience” involving his local bishop.
