Priest decries award honoring Schiavo judge
Priest decries award honoring Schiavo judge

Clearwater, Fl., May. 05, 2005 (CNA) - Angering many members of the pro-life movement, the West Pasco, Florida Bar Association recently honored Circuit Court Judge George Greer, who ordered the starvation of Terri Schiavo in February.

Joan Nelson Hook, president of the association told the AP that, “We admired his ability to sustain the pressure not to follow the law…I don't think anyone could ever say his decisions were unlawful."

Father Frank Pavone however, head of the group Priests for Life, who was with Schiavo for many of her last hours, said that "On the night before Terri Schiavo died, I said to the national media that Judge Greer was a murderer.”

“I repeat that today," he said.

3. Fr. Pavone is a zealot and an extremist.
