ROFLMHO! Since Pfleger's not supposed to have kids anyway, I find this deliciously ironic. :-)

Yeah, no kidding! I, too, wonder how a catholic priest has kids!?!

[Piranha]

Is that true? I know it's a Roman Catholic church, but it describes him as a pastor, not a priest. I am not a Catholic, so I don't know what a pastor is in the context of Roman Catholicism or whether pastors have to take a vow of celibacy.

Sounds like he adopted. Is that forbidden?

What the?????? This is beyond the pale.

[Non-Sequitur]

There is nothing preventing a priest from adopting. Pfleger has two adoptive sons. Another Chicago priest, George Clement, also adopted one or two boys. Both did so with the full support of the Archdiocese of Chicago, after a little initial reluctance, and the approval of John Paul II.
