Fr. Paul Marx, Requiescat in pace

Fr. Paul Marx, the famed pro-life missionary priest who founded Human Life International in 1981, and the Population Research Institute in 1989, died at 8:10 a.m this morning at the St. John's Benedictine Abbey in Collegeville, Minnesota. He was 3 months short of 90 years of age.  Photo: LifeSiteNews

Fr. Paul Marx founded Human Life International which is now headed by Fr. Tom Euteneuer(who also was in La Crosse at the Shrine OLOG last May for the Marian Conference).


I found out from my aunt that Fr. Marx was in La Crosse some years back(and she had met him). 

I was blessed to meet The Apostle of Life Father Paul Marx on two occasions, first at the American Life League World Conference in 2001, and then in La Crosse, WI, at a Pro-Life Wisconsin banquet. He told me to pray for him when we talked in La Crosse, so I've been praying for him for years. Rest in Peace, Father Paul, and praise God, and pray for us!

Here is one of Fr. Paul Marx quotes:

HLI was one of the first voices to consistently proclaim that abortion is the fruit of contraception, that foresight contraception often leads to hindsight abortion, and that massive contraception has caused increasing abortion worldwide.  Having visited and studied eighty-five countries, I challenge any bishop, priest, professor, or scientist to show me the contrary.  Abortion is the end point of the abuse of sex, which begins with the unleashing of the sexual urge by contraception.  -- The Warehouse Priest, page 262.

Update: My aunt who is also attending his funeral sent me his obituary.
