Cardinal George also seems to have put a damper on this priests continued high profile political activity:
"Racial issues are both political and moral and are also highly charged. Words can be differently interpreted, but Fr. Pfleger's remarks about Senator Clinton are both partisan and amount to a personal attack, I regret that deeply.”
"To avoid months of turmoil in the church, Fr. Pfleger has promised me that he will not enter into campaigning, will not publicly mention any candidate by name and will abide by the discipline common to all Catholic priests."
Where this controversy goes next is anyone's guess.

LOL! The first I have heard of this guy. Thanks very much for posting. Anyone ripping Hillary Clinton has some redeeming qualities.

Father Fleger apologized this week for his words. He said "I regret the words I chose on Sunday. These words are inconsistent with Sen. Obama's life and message, and I am deeply sorry if they offended Sen. Clinton or anyone else who saw them."Sheesh, I should have read more. What a wimp!

Obama accepted Pfleger's testimonial.
Obama took this page down a day or two ago, but I got a screenshot.

Notice that this “Catholic” Cardinal only chastised the priest for how the priest’s comments were adversely directed at Senator Clinton and NOT, in the first instance, because the priest was actively and publicly supporting a pro-abortion candidate.

Look at the reaction of the people in this church. They are not stunned or appalled.
It's pretty obvious what this church is about.
And it's pretty obvious that what this church is about Obama is about.

Oh, I'm so impressed -- NOT!
Cardinal George is too much of a coward to do what really needs to be done. Never in his life has Pfleger "abide[d] by the discipline common to all Catholic priests".
