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.

May this great prophet and "white martyr" for the unborn, for all vulnerable and innocent human life, rest in peace.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon him.
May he, and all the souls of the faithful departed, rest in peace.
Thank you for this tribute.
So, OK, today's my language-editor ruler-over-the-hands day.
It's not "requiem" in pacem when referring to a specific individual. It's "Requiescat" in pacem.
That translates "may he (she) rest" in peace.
"requiem" is the objective case of "requies," which means "rest." So the Introit for the Mass for the Dead begins "Requiem aeternam, dona eis, Domine" meaning "rest eternal grant them, Lord" with "requiem" and its modifier "aeternam" the direct object of "dona".
See?
Thank you! I tried googling to find the correct grammar, but it seems my old, nasty, grammar corrector set this youngin strait.
Father, do you think his cause will be looked into?
"requiescat in pace" - I think the ablative case is more commonly (and correctly) used with this quote.
requiescat in pace
