My ONLY issue is that--regardless of Pfleger's lefty politics--it is wrong to accuse him of having a so-called "thing" for boys. That's a strong accusation.
You still didn't present any information to back that up. That he adopted boys and no girls? Please. We don't know how he met those boys and decided to adopt them. One of his sons is bravely going into Iraq, so the only thing we can really presume is that this young man was probably brought up right. It's fine if we attack the father's politics, but there is no call for us attack his child-rearing abilities. None of us would want that done to us.
I certainly hope that just because someone is a Catholic priest, people wouldn't categorize him as a molester. It is anti-Catholic, and an offense to law abiding priests--of which there are still many.
Let's argue ISSUES/POLITICS with people, instead of just tossing around insults about their personal lives--which we know nothing about. They are plenty of people who have politics that I strongly oppose. However, I try to refrain from making wild assumptions about their home lives.
Yet I get the idea that you would rather toss insults at anyone who has a problem with any comments you make, rather than discuss issues, and I REALLY don't like conversing with people who do such things. I hope God softens your heart. I am not expecting intelligent discussion from you here, I just wanted to clarify my point.
My only issue is that you unfairly disparaged this peace-nic's family life. Hardly any other posts on this thread have done that. Even if he was the world's crappiest activist priest, that is NO reason to insinuate that he is guilty of something as heinous as child molesting. There's also no need for anyone to "refute" the charge you made, since there is no EVIDENCE behind it.
I am Protestant, but I still just hope that there is no anti-Catholicism at work here. Although those who run Church management have made bad (or even illegal) decisions, let's not insult the Church's many faithful members by making random assaults on their priests.
As Americans, we are free to hold any political opinions we choose. Let's argue the ISSUES with those who disagree with us, instead of making crude, mindless and unsubstantiated insults.
God Bless :)
Duh, here's a clue for you DUmmy: Profiling works.
