Vatican defrocks American priest: CBS News Flash Dec. 19, 2022

An American priest has been defrocked by the Vatican. Father Frank Pavone had been investigated by his then-diocese of Amarillo, Texas, for placing an aborted fetus on an altar and posting a video of it on social media. He posts frequently about U.S. politics and abortion. Thirty-six people were injured -- about a dozen seriously -- when their Hawaiian Airlines flight was rocked by turbulence. And the “Yellowstone” prequel is here. It's available on Paramount+.
