Catholic Church To All Rev. Pfleger To Return
Rev. Pfleger to Return to St. Sabina With 'No Restrictions'
He'll be back at St. Sabina, but he has to stay out of presidential politics
The South Side parish of St. Sabina exploded with shouts of joy and a standing ovation Sunday morning at the news firebrand Catholic pastor Rev. Michael Pfleger would be returning June 16.
Cardinal Francis George temporarily removed the outspoken priest from his parish last week following comments Pfleger made about then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Pfleger had said Clinton believed she was entitled to the Democratic nomination because she is white. Pfleger is white, while most of his parishioners are African-American.
At a three-hour Sunday mass filled with songs and dancing, pastoral associate Kimberly Lymore read a letter from Pfleger in which the priest wrote, "This has been a very painful time for me personally and for our church family."
"Let this time be a teaching moment for us to hear the Lord, to grow closer to him and become even stronger to build a kingdom on Earth as it is in heaven," Pfleger wrote.
Lymore said parish leaders were told by Cardinal George that Pfleger will continue as pastor of the church he has led for 30 years with "no restrictions" -- other than not being able to mention publicly the names of presidential candidates or campaign for them.
On hearing this, several parishioners called out "That's all right."
Asked if it was fair that Pfleger was restricted from talking about the candidates, longtime parishioner Michelle Wong Scott said, "a lot of times, when you're a member, you have to follow your leadership and do what your leaders tell you to do." She said if Cardinal George had removed Pfleger permanently, the parish would have continued the work he started.
Wild Thing's comment.........
The Catholic church is allowing this anti-American, racist, pure Marxist, Farrakhan loving, liberation theologian who is hiding behind Priest's robes, back into his influence and political peddling under the color of religion.
He is only restricted from " other than not being able to mention publicly the names of presidential candidates or campaign for them" , so what! I could do a whole sermon on B. Hussein Obama and his and never mention their names. LOL Even imitate them and never say one word with their names.
This is not a rant at the Catholic church per say, but a disgust at the sheep that don't speak out to their church how wrong this is to do to have priests like this jerk.
Sigh oh well what can one do when the whole world is upside down and backwards and the left is in charge of everything.
Heh heh..... rant....rant....rant that's what we still have a right to do.....at least until Muslim America hating B. Hussein Obama is President.
This rant is finished and this post will destruct in 5 seconds.

Well, I guess it was exciting to sing and dance for three hours. I am sure all the joyful activity was based on religious beliefs(sarc).
The Catholic Church has trouble getting numbers of priests so it tolerates pediphiles, gays, kooks and activists. When I was a Catholic, many years ago, it seems the priests were high quality men with true godly calling. Political activism from the pulpit was something parishoners did not tolerate.

JFK had the "New Frontier". Lyndon Johnson had the "Great Society".
If Barack Hussein Obama is elected President, he will be remembered as having the "Racist Society".
