Father Michael Pfleger was heckled on Thursday by pro-gun advocates while he gave a message at the St. George Catholic Church in Tinley Park, Illinois.
Pro-gun hecklers booed Pfleger and claimed he was violating their rights, noted WGN-TV (video below).
According to CBS Chicago, the Illinois State Rifle Association urged its members to show up at what it called a gun control recruitment event at the church.
"I'm neither a gun-grabber, nor am I against the Second Amendment. I want people who own guns to be held responsible for the guns that they own," Pfleger stated in the church to mostly applause by attendees.
Pfleger did say he wanted a ban on assault weapons and high capacity magazines, which brought jeering from pro-gun folks, CBS Chicago reported.
At one point, Rev. Ken Fleck, the pastor of the church, told the pro-gun hecklers to be quiet or leave the sanctuary.

Video at link. Yeah, being an 0bama tool, it's understandable why this fool would want to, at the very least, shame those who "cling to their guns and religion" (muslim terrorists not included, of course)

So has this church given up their tax exemptions so they can give political speeches from the pulpit?

"I'm neither a gun-grabber, nor am I against the Second Amendment."I thought that lying was a sin.

Yeah, the catholics have a long history of sticking their noses into temporal issues.
I left the church 45 years ago next year over liberation theology.
Hate priests.

Very misleading headline. Pflegler is as Catholic as the grand mufti. Should have been defrocked decades ago

"I'm neither a gun-grabber, nor am I against the Second Amendment". It's not nice to lie, padre.

That’s no priest. That’s a Communist, racist “community organizer” thug.

Fake Christian leftists practice taqiyya.

Catholics in the pews will have to speak out against the left wing pronouncements of bishops and priests. Politeness will need to be overruled by the need for the Truth to be heard.

An old friend of mine whose parents were very prominent members of their Catholic Church years ago called it quits when the priest used his pulpit one Sunday to sing the praises of Danny Ortega, Castro and the Sandanistas.

Gun shaming, it only works if you’re ashamed of guns...
I’m not, too bad.

This guy was removed from the pulpit years ago, IIRC, for calling on his congregation to “snuff out” gun-store owners. He went on to preach at Obama’s “church,” didn’t he?

Could not have said it better.

I want people who own guns to be held responsible for the guns that they own," Pfleger stated..WTF does that mean?
Oh, I see, he wants us treated like criminals.

When clergy use their pulpits to give overt political messages, then they can’t be surprised when they are heckled.
To: Impala64ssa
I went through the same crap about a year after coming back from Vietnam. Got up in the middle of the sermon (delivered by a radical who went on to high office in the California church, and who died recently) and walked right down the main aisle and out. Pissed my wife and in-laws off, but so what.
Besides, most priests, if you scratch their skins, are Marxists.

Global warning, gun control, pro-homosexual rights, Marxism.......I guess there is not time for the Gospel message of Christ Jesus in there anywhere.....
