Pfleger has established a power base at Saint Sabina, one of the most active and most prominent black Catholic parishes in the city.
Normal diocesan policy is to rotate pastors every five - ten years, partly to prevent individual priests from developing “cults of personality”, in which the loyalty of the parishioners is focused on the man, not the Word of God. That’s exactly what happened at Sabina.
I don’t know how many decades Pfleger has had the run of that parish. Extending his stay early on was probably defensible - he was and is very dedicated to his black parishioners, if in a somewhat messed up way. But the longer he stayed, the harder it became to move him. I’m certain Cardinal George would’ve replaced him in a heartbeat, but the racial tension that move would have engendered was probably judged to be too great a price to pay.
The archdiocese continues to pay for a mistake made decades ago - not cycling Pfleger through the system before it became too late.
Fixed it. Nobody who attends Flakey's Kill Whitey "church" is a baptized Catholic.
