“”Racism is still America's greatest addiction,” Pfleger says. “I also believe that America is the greatest sin against God.”

The statement of a terrorist.
And he is welcomed at the church that formed Obama for 20 years.

Shudder....

If the Catholic Church does NOT address this though, then there is a BIG problem.

Hmmmm...Does the Catholic Church have any track record of failing to address serious issues in a timely manner? Nothing comes to mind...

Racism is alive and well in the streets of Chicago, however it is the black segment that exhibits that racism. As a young person that has lived in New Hampshire, Texas and now NW Indiana (about 35 miles from Chicago) I have never seen such hatred from the black population as I have experienced in the Chicago area.

Glad to see this made ABC news.

As much as I hate the MSM, this needs to get out to the general public. Obama is one scary dude and I hope he loses the Catholic vote because of this.

I thought that Pfleger was part of the Obama campaign, his Catholic outreach guy, or something.

Any other Catholics think this priest needs to go?

This Lutheran can remember a time when priests like this would be taken out of the public eye and sequestered in a monastary for a couple of years.

Worked then, should be tried now.

A big YES! I think this guy (he's not a priest in my opinion) is Catholic in name only. If you go to St. Sabina's web site and link on to the calendar on Sunday he lists "worship service" Catholics don't have "worship service"----- we have Mass.

... you need to go on a mission trip to a foreign country ...

Just the place, even if a little white for his taste.

"I also believe that America is the greatest sin against God."

In that case padre, go somewhere else, "and sin no more."

"I also believe that America is the greatest sin against God."

This guy claims to be a Christian? "America" is a place. A place cannot commit a sin. Only an individual soul can commit a sin. All Americans are sinners. So are Canadians, Mexicans, Tibetans, Germans, Moroccans, South Africans, Australians, etc. None of those countries have sinned, but every living soul within those countries continue to sin.

The "greatest sin among God," according to God, (Proverbs 6:16-19), "These six things the LORD hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, a lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil, A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren."

I'll let God sort out your sins, but your words seem to be proud and are certainly sowing discord. Arguments can be made that you're guilty of the other five, as well.

Before anybody brings it up, I'm certainly aware of the board in my own eye.

To suggest that a piece of dirt can commit a sin is pure ignorance, to put it mildly. Kindly take off your collar, step away from the mic, and get to know Jesus. He will help you.

No, the greatest sin against God is for a hateful rabble rousing racist to wear a Roman collar and pretend he is a Catholic priest in an effort to gain notariety for his own egotistical self and his godless political cause.

“Hmmmm...Does the Catholic Church have any track record of failing to address serious issues in a timely manner? Nothing comes to mind...” I would like to think they have learned!

Pretty smug comment, we Catholics are used to it on this web site! Name your religion and I am sure we can find some scandal/scandals.
