#1 this guy's been working as a priest for over 30 yrs and this is the first time anyone's noticed that he's a nutjob? Kind of hard to believe. Maybe someone ought remind him that God is colorblind. Hillary Clinton doesn't believe in her entitlement to being coronated POTUS because she's white, it's because that's the type of self-important delusional egotistical **** she is. Skin color has nothing to do with it imho. Pfleger is a disgrace. (and from his lisp prolly playing for the away team as well)

#2 IIRC, Catholic priests take vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. The obedience is to their bishop, or the head of their order. Fr Pfleger has obviously not kept his vow of obedience.
He has been in trouble with the Archdiocese in the past - he adopted several young men (including Jarvis Franklin, who was killed) in direct defiance of the Cardinal.
I don't know why the Cardinal has not removed him before this.

#3 Pflegers replacement is Chicago Mayor Rich Daley's brother-in-law... what are the odds on that one? I bet those 'consultations' were with the Daley's and Barry Obama, not Canon Lawyers.

Remember, Barry Obama is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Daley political machine who can't wait to get their hands on Federal Patronage.

#4 Cardinal George is a weak hand, more like the loser Maloney in LA than a strong orthodox Cardinal like the ones in Pittsburgh and Denver.

And this is the price his flock pays: politicians pushing the church around, and pieces of crap like this "priest" who cares more about political friends and liberal politics than he does about his vows to God.

This whole thing stinks of machine politics. The pope needs to "retire" Cardinal George and replace him with a strong orthodox reformer.
