An awful lot of “I” and “me” in this Pfleger. An awful lot of rebellion, too. I’m beginning to question whether he’s even Christian, let alone a Catholic priest.
Apparently it's not a pre-requisite. Just like in many protestant churches.
Yes, his parish seems to suffer from a serious cult of personality. That is not good for the priest or his parishioners. The cardinal should move him to a place where he could work to overcome his egotism and self-loathing. Perhaps a hospice or something similar.
