CHICAGO — Barack Obama’s former pastor, who canceled several public events following an uproar over his incendiary comments, surprised a Chicago congregation by attending an event to celebrate poet Maya Angelou’s birthday.
The Rev. Jeremiah Wright got a raucous standing ovation when he entered Saint Sabina church on the city’s South Side on Friday night, according to video from WBBM-TV. Members yelled “Hallelujah!” as Wright embraced the Rev. Michael Pfleger, Saint Sabina’s pastor.
The smiling Wright accepted an invitation to give the benediction at the Roman Catholic church but did not address the furor over his past sermons. He also sang “Happy Birthday” to Angelou, whose birthday is April 4.

What was Cardinal George's (archbishop of Chicago) reaction to this situation?
I don’t understand how he could give the benediction, unless this wasn’t a mass.
<sarcasm>
He is risen?
</sarcasm>
Take this event and the crowd's reaction, add the political commentary from most white, conservative pundits and rightly conclude that there's a whole, 'nuther world out there that whitey does not fathom.
We are going to get this clown shoved down our throats. It will be unPC and "racist" to criticize him.
"..CHICAGO, January 18, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Catholic priest Father Michael Pfleger of the Archdiocese of Chicago wants people to know that pro-abortion, pro-homosexual marriage Senator Barack Obama “is the best thing to come across the political scene since Bobby Kennedy.”.."
Birds of a feather....
He did not enter through the door and He took food. amen
Cardinal George and all of US Conference of Catholic Bishops by their inaction have given their tacit approval to the Pro Abortion Policies of Barack Obama.
It is a waste of time to write to these Cardinals and Bishops.
The only message that we can effectively send to these bishops is to withhold our support of the our contriubtions to the Catholic Charities which is used in part to subsidized these Pro Abortion Policies and to reduce our weekly contributions by 50%.

I criticize him Obama public, and I do so on the basis of his illogical appeal to the masses. That puts him in the same boat with such "luminaries" as Adolf Hitler, Benito Musolini, Tojo, Sadaam Hussein, Idi Ammin,Mao Tse Dung, all Utopians who,using their "charisma" were willing to go to ANY length to impose THEIR perfect worlds on humanity. History shows us the result in the coin of unfathomable human suffering. Obama offers America no salvation. Only torture. And its already started.Utopians only have one way to go: Totalitarianism. Obama is such a one.
Obama is no different than these historical totalitarians. I will fight him and all like him to my dying breath if necessary.
Do the people who cheered remember Welfare Reform? How about "Social Security Disability Reform"
.....and yet another member of his posse...
In the second pic, he resembles Dick Turbin a little....
I wonder if the good revrund could be related to Barry's mom...seems to like the trouble makers

Small wonder some priests are defrocked. This is enough to make be become a Lutheran.
I don’t know how he could give Bendiction it is a Sacred Blessing? where GOD is Present and he doesn’t believe that... Why would he Be there other than Pride and that is the Root of all SIN>.I am Truely confused with this being held in a Catholic Church and Mocking the Presence of Christ with their Tomfoolery..
“What was Cardinal George’s (archbishop of Chicago) reaction to this situation?”
You obviously don’t know the Chicago Archdiocese. Pfleger does what he wants and every cardinal running the Chicago Church just bends over and takes it.
This black wannabee has been causing problems since the early ‘90s, maybe earlier.
Years back, when Pfleger ws up for reassignment to another parish, a typical change-of-station assignment, he refused and threatened to start his own church.
The cardinal backed down because that would have meant the loss of what few black parishes are left of the South Side of Chicago.
I say let them all go. I’m tired of throwing in a second envelope on Sundays for some “poor, distressed South Side parish.”
2 Tim 4:3 For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.
2 Tim 4:4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.
A benediction can also be a short prayer, something like “Go in peace.”
