How about excommunication instead?

I have no idea what Catholics can do about this ... it's not like you can vote 'em out or something.

They just go on and start a commie church with no Catholic sanctions, but wear vestments and use the word Catholic.

Kind'a like the non-uniformed jihadi's ... y'can't tell the players without a program.

“America is the greatest sin against God.”

God wants to liberate mankind...and Satan (Allah and Obama) want to make us submit to their domination.

In that manner of thinking, American (with all her faults) is a paean to God and an insult to all who hate freedom.

I think Pfleger is declaring that America is an insult to his god, Lucifer.

And one wonders why this X-Episcopalian (me) doesn’t go find solace in the Catholic Church? The same thing is going to happen to the RC’s as happened to the Episcopalians. Creeping socialism ... big tent. I’m not going through that again.

what do you expect from an area steeped in socialist ideals and values. It affects everything including the church - Catholic and Protestant. The Cardinal George is in the socialist world. Wheaton College is into the social justice program. Trinity’s colleges are now advocating social justice too. I am not surprised because in the 1990’s the social justice garbage was being introduced as part of the Association of Theological Schools - the accrediting branch for theological training institutions. The independent, non accredited theological training schools have not been imploded by this heresy.

Father Pfleger

Gun rights folks know him as "Snuffy" Pfleger, for openly calling for someone to kill a gun shop owner.

Long (controversial) interview that is dated; took place in 1998, but gives some insight into Cardinal George.

Lord, please stop the craziness.

I would guess Pfleger has the goods on someone. Chicago is just a hellhole in most every way anymore.

I read the story at the link. It seems to me the award is being presented to Pfleger by a well-known local black organization. Cardinal George was invited to preside over the evening's program.

I don't think the Cardinal should even be there for a night of "honoring" the anti-American priest, but maybe he was blindsided and accepted the invite too soon before knowing who the honorees were? Or whatever?

Can I see some additional opinions on the circumstances of the event as outlined in the article itself?

I'm not Catholic but consider Catholics my brothers and sisters. I pray for the Pope daily and have always had deep respect for the Church's faithful stand against godless communism.

This is incredible. Cardinal George is the head of the USCCB. The only way a message to this Cardinal is to withhold weekly donations from the collection basket if you live in the Chicago Diocese.

If you don’t live in the Chicago Diocese, do not donate to Catholic Charities and Catholic Charities for Human Development.

The only thing that this bishop recognizes is money.
