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)
Hell was quite content to sit back and let this apostate rant on as long as he could...
“You are going to have to have the balls to fire me” ~ Michael Pfleger
Pastors like this are more common than Catholics want to admit.
JoMa
What exactly does suspending him for two weeks accomplish?
The PERFECT caption to that photo:
We shuck and jive, and the white devils keep throwing money at us —— How sweet it is!
So the Pfleghmer got coughed up. Only until the campaign is over, I am quite sure.
Right. He can join the Habitat for Humility.
You’re as nutty as Pfleger.
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!
