bump ..... I’m waiting for Michelle Obama’s Kill Whitey speech myself. Think I’ll even save it to hard drive and send it to a liberal friend.
Of course, especially when you compare America to places like Rwanda and Darfur, where everything is just peachy between the races.
This guy knows exactly what he is doing ... which is trying to get attention for himself and nothing more. On second thought, he may also get off on embarrassing his superiors in the church.
Still waiting for the other 150 denominations to address their pedophiles as well.
So-o-o-o-o...shouldn't you love the racist? Isn't that what Jesus said to do: love those that hate you? Seems to me Jesus said something like, "What good does it do to love those who love you? Even the heathen do that. No. My command is this -- love those who hate you."
Something along those lines. I'm paraphrasing.
>”Racism is still America’s greatest addiction,” Pfleger says. “I also believe that America is the greatest sin against God.”<
This guy ought to know, as he’s sure got the racism monkey tightly attached to his back.
This evening, at my daughter’s baccalaureate, a real minister, a real man of God, gave a speech to the graduates. There was no pandering, no swaggering, no hint of or mention of race, and every person in the place young and old, listened intently to his message. You could have heard a pin drop in the place.
And, best of all, he spoke to public school students, in the auditorium of a public school, and unashamedly prayed in Jesus’ name.
It’s to these good folk, of both races, we must look in the coming years. The politicians and their sycophants will have us at each others’ throats if we don’t come together inspite of their incessant race baiting.
How does Fr. Pfleger rationalize the commandment to love one another, his Church’s teachings and Obama’s unqualified support for abortion, including partial birth abortions?
Always through history, the race card to deflect what they are really doing.
Thanks, pissant. I couldn’t think of anything nice or appropriate to say in response to that comment.
This priest’s more immediate boss is Francis Cardinal George, Archbishop of Chicago. You might be interested in the Cardinal’s public statement about Pfleger. It appears that Pfleger is on a short leash now.
Here is the text:
STATEMENT OF FRANCIS CARDINAL GEORGE, O.M.I.,
ARCHBISHOP OF CHICAGO
Friday, May 30, 2008
Statement of Cardinal Francis George concerning remarks of
Fr. Michael Pfleger about Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton during an address at Trinity United Church of Christ on Sunday May 25, 2008
The Catholic Church does not endorse political candidates. Consequently, while a priest must speak to political issues that are also moral, he may not endorse candidates nor engage in partisan campaigning.
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.

Maybe the Archbishop did not hear the entire “sermon”?
It appears that he may have heard a news report about insulting Hillary or something, surely he did not hear the parts about whites raping black people still, and how whites have to pay for their deeds?
No way did he hear that part, or this Priest would be out on his ear, the Catholic Church would not put up with such bigotry and hatred being agitated from the pulpit.
Its very dangerous for parishioners and their children who have trust in the Church.
Someone from Chicago needs to inform his superiors right away.
Are you from Chicago?
http://www.dwellinmylove.org/top_office_for_racial_justice.htm
The core mission of the Office is to address the sin of racism by providing parishes and schools with the tools to initiate and enhance their efforts to combat racism. Cardinal Francis George, O.M.I., established the Office for Racial Justice July 1, 2000. The Office is a direct outgrowth from the Archdiocese of Chicago’s Task Force on Racism as a response to the beating of Lenard Clark in 1997.
The Archdiocese of Chicago will
Acknowledge that racism is a sin that has created a racist society in which the dominant culture benefits.
Encourage Catholic to search their own hearts on the questions of how the sin of racism has touched them.
Guide parishes to proclaim the gospel message that stresses our unity, and design pastoral responses that will help combat the sin of racism.
Create educational opportunities in schools and parishes that will uncover the truth about racism in America and in our local communities while providing the means to bring about healing.
Stimulate church involvement in community initiatives addressing issues of racial justice.
For General Information
Office for Racial Justice
312-751-8336
Workshops on Racism & Ethnic Sensitivity
312-751-5380
Initiatives are driven by three principles:
A call to change attitudes and behaviors that will lead to a conversion of heart and reconciliation among peoples of every ethnic and cultural background.
A commitment to take concrete, visible steps to dismantle personal and systemic racism.
To witness through our lives and actions the unconditional love of God for all human beings regardless of their racial, religious, or national origin.
This recommendation is made the understanding that the archdiocese must combat racism in a manner consistent with the mission of the local church. Accordingly, we see that this commitment connects integrally with the Archdiocese's evangelization efforts in the new millennium.

Does the Pope know of this “lavender mafia”? Surely he does not.
Maybe someone in Rome needs to know, so they can inform him?And he can fire Priests and whomever Pfleger has dirt on, correct?
Yeah, I agree. This guy Pfleger is way beyond the pale. I think he should be reassigned to where he is away from the public, because it’s clear he cannot handle being a pastor.
I’m a Texan, so not from the Archdiocese of Chicago. Thanks to Antoninus for shedding some light on the situation there for us. I would not expect Rome to step in.
“Beating him will be like taking candy from a kid.”
No it will be like beating a rented mule.
No, it will be like beating a red-headed stepchild.
