In the main he’s getting dumped on for this, which is encouraging. Boreing is deeply confused. If someone breaks into your property, you certainly do have a right to defend yourself with lethal force—but only if your own life or safety is at stake. If someone is in your driveway beating up your car with a baseball bat, you’re not allowed to kill him. Only defense of life merits taking another life, never defense of property. In a riot, police certainly have the right to use deadly force against rioters, but they’re quelling the riot in order to protect the lives and the safety of persons, including their own.

We are all going to have to assume that Fr. Frank Pavone is being utterly honest in his tweet, because to assume that he is engaging in mere bluster would be uncharitable. Fr. Pavone never engages in bluster and is entirely honest in all things — particularly his canonical status in the Church and the fact that his new, supportive bishop is waiting until just the right moment to come out from behind the curtain and announce his identity to an anxious, waiting world. None of these things are lies, and the Diocese of Amarillo is not refusing to answer questions about Pavone because they think they’re not really accountable to anyone; it would be uncharitable to hint at such a thing.
