Some political pressure needs to be applied to that incompetent Soros backed DA in Cook County Has the church turned over the details to the prosecutor’s office as required?
What is the prosecutor’s office doing about this?
Probably nothing. Probably keeping him in the loop as to what's going on. This is the Chicago D. machine, after all.
Of course he’s returning. Disgraced liberals never, ever stop.
His ignorant parisheners will look the other way.
Auburn Gresham: In at #5 (of Chicago’s 50 neighborhoods) for the most homicides this year, according to data from the Hey Jackass site.
Anyone as slimes and hateful as this guy has got to be a pervert.
Why. I never would’ve guessed it. NOT!
Too bad Second City Cop blog was shut down in the January Tech purge. They would have been all over Mikey Faker’s pederasty
Also Fr. Faker was burrowed into his PArish for many years past mandatory rotation? In true Chicago form, he probably had some information on Cardinal Cupcake. Sitting back and waiting for the first rat to squeal to get the best deal
