A defiant Rev. Michael Pfleger on Saturday dared the Chicago archdiocese to kick him out of the Catholic Church, telling a crowd of 400 people on the South Side, "I am not quitting." "You are going to have to have the balls to fire me," Pfleger said, sending a message to church leaders. "If you want to fire me, fire me."

Well? Does the bishop have them? If so, he needs to use them.

Well? Does the bishop have them? If so, he needs to use them.

Bishops have to follow canon law like anyone else.

You cannot canonically remove someone from his ministry just because he is a loudmouth jerk.

You have to be able to prove in court that he is an egregious lawbreaker. There is a process, and Pfleger knows the process as well as anyone, and he knows how to bend canonical limits without breaking them too often.
