Spike Lee Attends Mass for Obama Priest Accused of Molesting Boys

Excerpt:

...Pfleger’s latest problems began when two brothers accused him of molesting them.

...The Chicago Archdiocese cleared Pfleger, but a police investigation continues. This hasn’t stopped Pfleger and the media from putting on a full-court press celebrating his comeback.

Pfleger, 72, was placed on leave in January amid allegations from two brothers who said Pfleger sexually abused them as children starting in the 1970s. A third man later also alleged that Pfleger molested him once in 1979 when he was 18. Last month, the archdiocese concluded there was “insufficient reason to suspect” that Pfleger had abused children. A police investigation remains open.

His first service back at the largely Black church on Chicago’s South South was as spirited as ever, with live music, dancing and reenergized congregants who have fiercely backed their priest. Pfleger, who is white, thanked congregants for supporting him and vowed to resume his activism, especially against gun violence, with even more gusto.

Didn’t Harvey Weinstein make the same promise?

On Sunday, some wore T-shirts featuring the priest’s photo and the message “Pfleger is back.” Among those in attendance was filmmaker Spike Lee, who is friends with Pfleger and whose 2015 movie “Chi-raq” featured a character inspired by Pfleger and played by John Cusack.

No accountability there.

“I know my name will be damaged for the rest of my life,” Pfleger said as congregants booed. “But most of that is by people that hated me anyway. There are people watching today that are not happy that I’m back. But take off your party hat and blow out the candles. I’m back.”

Any word about the victims from the man dubbed Obama’s moral compass? Like teacher, like student.
