PING
You should see Pfather Pflakey's facebook page. I've posted there a couple of times since he got suspended to amuse myself (his page is public so you don't have to make him your "friend" to post). The religious denominations of his defenders on facebook, in order from most common to least common:
1) Nation of Islam members
2) Nondenominational "Christians" of black liberation theology (Rev. Wright types)
3) Atheists
4) Episocpilians (liberal ones who like gay marriage, etc.)
5) Lutherans (see above)
6) Nonpracticing Roman Catholics who say the church "left them" and is racist without Pflakey around
In rough estimates, I count about 10-12 NOI fans, 8 "nondenominational" black liberation Christan's, 6 atheists, 3 Episcoplians, 2 Lutherans, and 2 nonpracticing Roman Catholics. There are 3 practicing Catholics on his facebook page bashing Pflakey as a hate-mongering heretic CINO (me and two others), and 3 practicing Roman Catholics who profess to be neutral in the debate (all 3 are blacks who attend his church), but have admitted Pflakey overstepped the line that St. Sabina's is "disconnected" from the rest of the Catholic community in Chicago and that Pfleger "isn't teaching doctrine to his flock".
That alone speaks volumes of what type of "Catholicism" is being taught at St. Sabina's.
The newspapers that I’m aware of which include “Star” in their masthead (KC and Minnehaha) tend to lean decidedly toward the Left/Communistic. I suspect this fish wrapper is just the same.
The author is correct about that. The cardinal's responsibility is to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, not the secularism of Pfleger or any other man.
