Pfleger suspended from his church by diocese

Cardinal George gets what Barack Obama only understood under pressure:

The firebrand pastor of St. Sabina parish was removed from his duties there Tuesday, according to a statement released by the Archdiocese of Chicago.

In the statement, Cardinal Francis George says he asked the Rev. Michael Pfleger, 59, to "take leave for a couple of weeks from his pastoral duties." The statement said Pfleger "does not believe this to be the right step at this time." "While respecting his disagreement, I have nevertheless asked him to use this opportunity to reflect on his recent statements and actions in the light of the Church's regulations for all Catholic priests," George said.

Did Obama know about these things when he subsidized the same hate that the Catholic Church is suspending him for? What about his contributions? ($22,500 in 2006 and $26,270 in 2007)

Pastors like this are more common than Catholics want to admit.

What exactly does suspending him for two weeks accomplish?

The PERFECT caption to that photo:

So the Pfleghmer got coughed up. Only until the campaign is over, I am quite sure.

Pfleger’s got free time to pick up a hammer and help build Jeremiah Wright’s mansion.

Right. He can join the Habitat for Humility.

Right. And you believe the Pope is the Vicar of Christ.

Of course, Benedict XVI IS the vicar of Christ on earth. Permanent advantage: Cunningham!
