A man of God, Father Sean Gough prays for a living. That’s the life of a Catholic priest. A resident of Birmingham, England, he often prays, silently, as he makes his way about town. He prays for those around him, and for his country too. Now, in line with his long-term ministry of support for pregnant women, he is under fire for praying in silence on the street near a closed abortion facility.
Following the viral arrest of Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, the world is no stranger to the absurdity of silent-prayer prosecution in the U.K. After Isabel came Adam Smith-Connor, the army veteran fined for silent prayer as well. Prayer prosecution is a very real occurrence in today’s England.
