STATEN ISLAND, Ny., Sept. 6 /Christian Newswire/ -- Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, commented today on the passing of noted evangelist and activist Rev. D. James Kennedy.

"America has lost a strong and consistent voice for the most helpless in society," said Fr. Pavone.  "The unborn and the physically impaired had a great advocate in Rev. D.
