He should be defrocked or excommunicated, IMHO.

I remember him when I lived in Chicago in the early 90’s.

Very sad. His “threat” to leave the Catholic Church is the only thing he ever said which I agreed with, and that is what his bishop manages to get him to recant. Wonderful. This transition is certain to include another Pfleger in that “parish” which should have been closed down years ago. Why doesn’t the Church realize that by forcing this trash onto the people year after year all that happens is that we begin to lose any faith in the institution which we have managed to hold onto? If the Church can tolerate people like Pfleger in high positions then maybe it cannot tolerate people like me.

It is puzzling why he has not transitioned over to the Episcopal Church. There are so many conservative Anglicans coming to Rome, it would only make sense for the RC liberals to leave. They’d be much more comfortable stylistically with the Episcopalians as well.

**Cardinal George, ... that abortion is incompatible with true social justice.**

Calling Pfleger on the dime.

Oops.

**Cardinal George, ... emphasized that abortion is incompatible with true social justice.**

Calling Pfleger on the dime.

Cardinal George is a wussy. This clown should be transferred somewhere that he can actually serve the Church. I recommend Nigeria.

It's too comfortable and has too few AIDS victims who need comfort.

The Progressive Southern Baptists might accept this black-wannnabe, shucker and jiver, leftist ahole.

Or maybe Al “I’m a fraud” Sharpton will give him a job in his church (there is room in the phone booth for him).

This guy makes my skin crawl and is absolutely sickening!

He has taken Jesse Jackson off as the most evil person in this city in my mind.

I wish the Vatican would throw him out of the priesthood!

Central Antarctica has its possibilities. Maybe too many researchers down there, have to think of them. I was thinking a desert island, but then you have to worry about shipwreck survivors washing up...they’ll have a hard enough time without his pastoral skills.

I’m thinking he could be the first priest to have his chapel in space or in a deep oceanic trench.

Are you aware that Cardinal George is recovering from cancer?

I didn’t think you did.

Okay that covers putting up with this cr@p for the past 2-3 years, but what about the previous twenty something years? before.

What about the 3 time he openly defied the bishop to adopt 3 children?

What about the time he led march on the gun owners store?
