Chicago’s Father Michael Pfleger Removed from Ministry Over New Sexual Abuse Allegations
Catholic World Report ^ | 10/16/22 | Jonah McKeown

Posted on 10/18/2022 6:52:33 PM PDT by marshmallow

St. Louis, Mo., Oct 16, 2022 / 12:50 pm (CNA). A well-known Chicago priest has been asked to step aside from ministry during an investigation into an allegation of sexual abuse against a minor.

Father Michael Pfleger, senior pastor at St. Sabina parish and a well-known social activist, will live away from his parish while the allegation — which he denies — is investigated. The alleged abuse occurred more than 30 years ago, the archdiocese says.

In an Oct. 15 letter, Cardinal Blase Cupich of Chicago said Pfleger has “agreed to cooperate fully” with the request to step aside from ministry following the allegation made to the Office for Child Abuse Investigations and Review.

As is required by archdiocesan child protection policies, the allegation was reported to the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services and law enforcement, Cupich wrote. The archdiocese has begun its investigation and “we will do our best to keep you informed,” the cardinal pledged.

“The person making the allegation has been offered the services of our Victim Assistance Ministry and the archdiocese has begun its investigation and we will do our best to keep you informed,” Cupich wrote.

St. Sabina pastor Father Thulani Magwaza will serve as parish administrator in Pfleger’s stead, Cupich wrote, and noted that until Magwaza returns from a visit with family in early November, Father David Jones will serve as temporary administrator.

From the time this guy first appeared on the scene in 2007, it was obvious he was a queer/pedo.

FALSANI:

Do you have people in your life that you look to for guidance?

OBAMA:

Well, my pastor [Jeremiah Wright] is certainly someone who I have an enormous amount of respect for.

I have a number of friends who are ministers. Reverend Meeks is a close friend and colleague of mine in the state Senate. Father Michael Pfleger is a dear friend, and somebody I interact with closely.

He was “on the scene” long before that IIRC, as a local political player. It was just the Obama connection that made him nationally known.

Thats right. He arrived at St. Sabina Parish in 1981. I thought generally, priests serve a parish for six years then are transferred to another parish. Interested in the reason why the Chicago Archdiocese allowed him to stay that long.

Rev. Wright is still alive at age 81, but he has been very quiet since the Obama era. He keeps a low profile for his own reasons. I didn’t even hear him ranting and raving during the Trump Admin.

Don't count on it. This is his second investigation if memory serves. Someone is protecting him -- and probably not in the Church. In the Chicago Democrat mafia.

Obama sure knew how to pick his “friends”. His neighborhood was Moscow East, full of Communists and sympathizer.

Pfleger is a nutcase.

This is sad, and really tarnishes what is left of his witness.
