By Rhina GuidosWASHINGTON (CNS) -- Pro-life supporters in the CatholicChurch are denouncing activist Father Frank Pavone for what he said was an "emergencysituation" on the eve of the U.S. presidential election."What did he do?" wrote Ed Mechmann, a public policydirector whose areas of concern include pro-life issues, in a blog for the Archdiocese of NewYork. "He used a dead aborted baby, laying naked and bloody on an altar, as aprop for his video."But Father Pavone, no stranger to controversial situations,said he was trying to drive home, in a visual and impactful way, what it meant to chooseone presidential candidate over the other on Election Day. Father Pavone,appealing for votes for Republican presidential candidate Donald J. Trump, saidhe was showing "the Democrats' support of baby-killing.""I'm showing the reality," he said in an interview onElection Day with Catholic News Service.
