Father Fidelis Moscinski\u2019s courageous actions in living out the faith challenge me to always grow deeper in trust of God.<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>\u201cTo live in truth is the basic minimum of human dignity, even if the price to defend the truth can be costly. You need to always remain faithful to the truth. Truth can never be betrayed.\u201d \u2014Blessed Jerzy Popie\u0142uszko<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">On Jan. 23, I went to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncregister.com\/cna\/catholic-priest-found-guilty-of-blocking-entrance-to-abortion-facility-and-faces-prison-time\">trial of Father Fidelis Moscinski<\/a>, a Franciscan Friar of the Renewal, who was charged with violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act at Planned Parenthood in Hempstead, Long Island. As I watched the trial unfold, it struck me that although the prosecutors presented the physical facts in what Father had done, the truth of what actually takes place inside Planned Parenthood was, as usual, hidden under \u201creproductive health care\u201d and the continued denial of the harm abortion does to women and families.&#0160;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">In July 2022, Father placed bicycle locks on the gates of the Planned Parenthood in the hopes of keeping the clinic closed. His goal was to speak to the women coming in for an abortion and offer them resources that would allow them to keep their babies. The locks were eventually cut by the fire department, at which time Father laid down in front of the fence for a short while until the time of his arrest. The original charge was for an ordinance violation, which was then changed to a misdemeanor FACE charge.<\/p>\n<p>And this is for a three person Manhasset RRR. Off the Red Rose Facebook page.
