Does this Holy Ass and vice-versa not belong to a Roman Catholic diocese?

Has his Bishop no ecclesiastical discipline? This biy needs to be on bread and water in a Benedictine Monastery in Poland for the next 90 days.

Michael Pfleger has been the pastor of St. Sabina on the south side of Chicago for a long time, way past the normal cycle for a parish in the Chicago archdiocese. There have been rumors about Cardinal George rotating him out, but I suspect there are two reasons why this has not happened:

1. NO other parish in Chicago would want him. Most Catholic parishes in Chicago are heavily tied to the ethnic group in the neighborhood, and Pfleger would wear out his welcome anywhere in a few weeks, or more likely days.

2. Any priest who has to replace Pfleger at St. Sabina would be a sacrifice, and that would a tough place to get a volunteer to go into.

And, of course, eh does not want to leave where he is. Just packing and shipping his ego would be an enormous strain on a man of his age.
