Pfleger said today that he is the victim of hate and of YouTube. He needs six bodyguards to stand outside his church because of death threats. Maybe he should go live with Jeremiah is his gated, white suburban neighborhood.
What’s with Cardinal George? He can’t come up with any stronger discipline that getting Pfleger to promise not to mention political candidates? George may be concerned about losing parishoners at St Sabrina. In the meantime, white suburban Catholics like me will stop funding the archdiocese and George’s Gold Coast mansion.
There is a community 30 miles from where I live that has been without a parish priest for the last 15 years. I want to recommend to the Archdioscese that Father Pfleger be sent to Cathlamet, Washington, where his ministrations are desperately needed.
It is a mostly ethnic Scandinavian community but I can’t imagine a better place for that poor misguided priest, Father Pfleger. He has definitely been in Chicago too long and needs to become reoriented with what his first priorities as a priest should be. The good people of Cathlamet will help him adjust.
Hopefully he won’t go hog wild over the handful of Hispanics who migrate through occasionally.
