Accusations against this "priest" will go nowhere; he will just claim he meant something else and Jesse Jackson will whip out the race card.

Aside from that, what a vile and disgusting man this "priest" is. There is a special reward for men of the cloth who lead people astray.

Vince Clark, a spokesman for Pfleger, told Cybercast News Service Wednesday that the pastor wasn't aware of the violent connotation of "snuff" and didn't mean to threaten bodily harm. (Listen to Pfleger's comments)

"I've never heard that compared before with the word murder," Clark said. "He [Pfleger] was never aware of that. If that was the case he would never have used that language."

Did the local TV news accompany these quotes with a laugh track and rimshots?

I understand. I wonder if it would be OK to encourage gun owners to "whack" Pfleger... because he deserves a spanking, ya know?

[Just another Joe]

Clark said Pfleger's use of the word "was meaning 'to expose' but to do no bodily harm."

My BS meter is pegged.

"snuff out"? means to expose? Puleeeeaaaasse

He used exactly the words and meanings that are normally associated with the meaning that the gun store owner thinks about when he hears them.

This guy is just hoping that some wacko will do the job for him thinking that he'll get, or already has, dispensation from a priest for the act.

As Cybercast News Service reported earlier, Rev. Michael Pfleger said Saturday in comments aimed at Chuck's Gun Shop owner John Riggio, "we're going to find out and snuff you out."

That can certainly be regarded as a threat. Not that I seriously believe it will be in Chicago. Can you imagine the uproar if a conservative made the same comment about a liberal?

"I've never heard that compared before with the word murder," Clark said. "He [Pfleger] was never aware of that. If that was the case he would never have used that language."

That has to go down as one of the biggest bald-faced lies in history, almost in the "I did not have sex with that woman" class.

The Perp.

This is the quote I have from a previous thread.

Rev. Michael Pfleger, pastor of St. Sabina's Church, exhorted the crowd to "drag" shop owner, John Riggio, from his shop "like a rat" and "snuff" him.

This is what they are using as an alibi, Clark said Pfleger's use of the word "was meaning 'to expose' but to do no bodily harm."

Sorry it does not make any logical sense that they meant to expose when he said the crowd should drag him out like a rat and snuff him.

Pfleger is an embarrasment to the Chicago Archdiocese. Usually just ignoring him results in long stretches of time in which he’s not heard from. Anyone who can praise Lewis Farrakhan with a straight face needs his spiritual credentials re-examined.

[RexBeach]

If the priest really said this, he should be kicked out fo the priesthood - pronto. And that should be the very least that happens to him.

“James Accurso, a spokesman for the Chicago Archdiocese, said he was not aware of the rally or Pfleger’s participation in it until after it took place Saturday.

He told Cybercast News Service that the church had no plans to take disciplinary action against Pfleger.”

This isn’t a church, it’s a joke. No honest church would allow one of it’s representatives threaten bodily harm to anyone for any reason. As far as I am concerned the Chicago Archdiocese is a terrorist organization.

[VeniVidiVici]

Huh? I understand he has his flock fleeced but do they think the entire world is stupid?

I can't believe the Church lets this guy hang around.

The Armorbearers Ministry consists of a group of God-called men who are responsible for protecting the anointing and the pastoral mantle that rests upon Reverend Michael L. Pfleger. This is accomplished through consistent prayer, fasting and personal assistance. The Armorbearers share an individual and collective desire to lay down their lives for the life of another, namely Pastor Pfleger. These men assist Pastor Pfleger on Sundays and also travel with him extensively throughout the year. The Armorbearers are also responsible for receiving and accommodating all guests of Pastor Pfleger, whether speaking or visiting. The term, "armorbearer" first appears in the bible in the Book of Judges, however, the characteristics, attributes and role of the God-called Armorbearer is described specifically in 1 Samuel with young King David as the primary role model. Substantial emphasis is placed on being "called" by God to this ministry due to the seriousness of the role of Armorbearer. The new member is expected to successfully complete a supervised three-month observation period along with a curriculum-based teaching series designed to prepare the new member for effective service. Foundational Scripture: "Greater love has no one than this, that lay down his life for his friend(s)." John 15:13;

NIVMinistry Expectation: Completion of the New Believers New Members series and the Leadership Development Training is a requirement for leadership and a request for members.

Ministry Meetings: The Ministry meets monthly.The meetings are closed.

Ministry Membership Contact: Ministry Team Leader.

This is from the Ministries/Mission link of the Church where this priest is pastor.

Has this priest stepped over the line?

James Accurso, a spokesman for the Chicago Archdiocese, said ... that the church had no plans to take disciplinary action against Pfleger.
