Rev. Jeremiah Wright Surprises Chicago Church With Appearance

CHICAGO — Barack Obama’s former pastor, who canceled several public events following an uproar over his incendiary comments, surprised a Chicago congregation by attending an event to celebrate poet Maya Angelou’s birthday.

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright got a raucous standing ovation when he entered Saint Sabina church on the city’s South Side on Friday night, according to video from WBBM-TV. Members yelled “Hallelujah!” as Wright embraced the Rev. Michael Pfleger, Saint Sabina’s pastor.

The smiling Wright accepted an invitation to give the benediction at the Roman Catholic church but did not address the furor over his past sermons. He also sang “Happy Birthday” to Angelou, whose birthday is April 4.

So, I guess this congregation agrees whole-heartedly with Wright's racist, Marxist, black liberation rantings.

This Pfleger dude was the one, who along with Jesse Jackson, was about to invade a Chicago-area gun store. The “gun violence protest” had been announced with great fanfare and there was a meeting outside the store, but the “invasion” was called off.

Probably because what Pfleger glimpsed inside the store was people brandishing not guns, but clenched fists.

Anyway, he’s the natural choice to welcome the racist Mr. Wright back into the spotlight.

Pfleger’s a jerk. I’m Catholic and I would never address him as “father”.

Because the problem in America is not white racism, it is black racism.

The key here is “raucous standing ovation”.
That shows that the problem is far from over. Anti-White racism is very strong and there is no sign of it abating.

Catholic priest Father Michael Pfleger of the Archdiocese of Chicago wants people to know that pro-abortion, pro-homosexual marriage Senator Barack Obama “is the best thing to come across the political scene since Bobby Kennedy.”..”

Priest do not become communist. Communist become priest. That is my assessment of this Pfleger.

I never knew that black America hated me because of the color of my skin. Damn the dims and their dividing up of America! The black culture lives a huge lie... they publicly embrace King for the money and power his message brings to them but they think and act like those that King fought against. Racism is alive and kicking in America and it manifests itself in black Churches. I didn't know... and I am of the generation of the South that first embraced integration. We never had any problems from my 7th grade throughout my college years... NOT ONCE! I have to tell you that I am disappointed that blacks have not spoken out against this outrageous bigotry. Why? I think that I know the answer.

Cast your bread upon the waters, For you will find it after many days.

Ecclesiastes 11:2
Give a serving to seven, and also to eight, For you do not know what evil will be on the earth.

Ecclesiastes 11:3
If the clouds are full of rain, They empty themselves upon the earth; And if a tree falls to the south or the north, In the place where the tree falls, there it shall lie.

Ecclesiastes 11:4
He who observes the wind will not sow, And he who regards the clouds will not reap.

Ecclesiastes 11:5
As you do not know what is the way of the wind, Or how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child, So you do not know the works of God who makes everything.

Ecclesiastes 11:6
In the morning sow your seed, And in the evening do not withhold your hand; For you do not know which will prosper, Either this or that, Or whether both alike will be good.

Ecclesiastes 11:7
Truly the light is sweet, And it is pleasant for the eyes to behold the sun;

Ecclesiastes 11:8
But if a man lives many years And rejoices in them all, Yet let him remember the days of darkness, For they will be many. All that is coming is vanity.

Rejoice, O young man, in your youth, And let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth; Walk in the ways of your heart, And in the sight of your eyes; But know that for all these God will bring you into judgment.

Ecclesiastes 11:10
Therefore remove sorrow from your heart, And put away evil from your flesh, For childhood and youth are vanity.

Disgusting behavior by that “catholic” congregation. The priest should be defrocked.

And they grab every opportunity to jump on us for being “racist”.

In truth they are racists pure and simple. Their only opportunity to get power and to use their color to screw the whites.

I am fed up with them. I no longer listen to their chatter. And I will not be told what I can say or not say.

Let them try and live off hate. They will be the losers as it shows they are only seeking another “master” to give them everything so they do not have to think.

They have had every opportunity but - no - too hard to study for an education, too hard to work their way up like the whites do - lot easier to live in their sordid hovels and have the govivmint do the thinkin’ and worryin’ for em’. Much easier to rob and steal, sell drugs.

The fact that in their poverty - they manage to be able to take drugs tells an awful lot about their mental capabilities, their ability to survive with a “master”.

Awful telling that this preacher is so filled with hate - yet he does not live in poverty. So why the hate? He has done wonderful in this country he hates.

Mark Levin played some of Obama's audio book yesterday;

"White Greed, Rules A World In Need"

Obama's made himself the weaker candidate, Clinton was right to continue, she has become their best chance to beat President McDole.

Does the archdiocese have some kind of annual appeal, like we have here? Perhaps all Catholics who support the unborn should be urged not to give until the archbishop does something about this evil priest. I am assuming he must be pro abortion. How can he be so in love with Obama and still be “pro life??” How sickening.

I think if I lived in that diocese I would write the cardinal and tell him I will continue to attend weekly mass but I will not contribute a penny to any church.

The problem with Catholicism embracing identity politics is that such movements literally encourage the sin of pride.

Wright’s “black value system” is a violent atrocity against everything that Christianity stands for.
