Breitbart: Father Michael Pfleger, a left-wing and partisan Democrat Catholic priest, was removed from his role heading Saint Sabina Church in Chicago, IL, on Tuesday, following revelations of allegations that he sexually assaulted a minor over 40 years ago.
Cardinal Blase Cupich, Archbishop of Chicago, addressed Pfleger’s departure in a letter to Saint Sabina’s congregation:
I write to share some difficult news about your senior pastor, Father Michael Pfleger. In keeping with our child protection policies, I have asked Father Pfleger to step aside from ministry following receipt by the Archdiocese of Chicago’s Office for Child Abuse Investigations and Review of an allegation of sexual abuse of a minor more than 40 years ago.
Cupich’s letter did not identify the sex of the allegedly abused minor or provide any details of the alleged abuse.
Pfleger, now 71, has a record of left-wing and partisan Democrat advocacy and associations. read more
Will now retire to become head of an all boy orphanage in rural Iowa or Wyoming.
This asshole should have been excommunicated 20 years ago for preaching contrary to Church doctrine. Too bad that sexual abuse is the only way to get these guys booted out.
Funny how this news comes out during the 48 hour period when literally EVERYONE is looking elsewhere.
“Father” PHAGler.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that …
izlamo delenda est …
We have all had it with these fraudsters whether they are politicians, religious leaders, bureaucrats, etc… The time for talk is over, it’s time for justice to be served on these people.
“I am shocked, shocked to find that pedophelia is going on in here.”
Sadly, I am all out of shock and outrage, having seen too many of these stories, involving priests of all political and theological camps.
I have about as much faith and admiration left for the Catholic Church as I do for Congress, although I hang on to a faint hope that Christianity and America will survive in some form –no thanks to the idiots in charge at the moment, but because the believers in both cherish and preserve their own Bibles and copies of the nation’s founding documents.
I’m with you @Miss Kitty-take off the damned gloves. The time for polite and reasoned discussions is over.
Justice needs to be served-hot, swift, and thorough!
40 years ago…
That right there tells me they need to fire the assholes who have been looking the other way for all these decades!!
Why don’t we just spit on him and call him Father Phlegm.
I think there’s more to it than that. He pissed off someone with some clout and this was cover for getting rid of him.
He raped a boy, is my guess. Because if it was a girl, the male gay mafia wouldn’t give a shit.
Hey, why aren’t all the media people shoving microphones in Obozo’s face, asking him to comment on his friend getting investigated? That’s how it works for us on the right. Rhetorical question; no answer needed.
Everyone in Chicago knows that Pflegler is a nominally white version of Farrakhan. He was always an Obama suck-up and now we know what that really means.
He’s no more Catholic than Begroglio.
He was always creepy.
He’s a cocksucker—whether he’s ever sucked a dick or not.
It would be out of character if he were not a pervert. IT was obvious to me the guy was a pervert the first time he showed up on the National scene.
He should be treated exactly the same way they treated people during the Spanish Inquisition. {Publicly & on display}
Ps. Fuck Pope Frankie! from a no longer practicing catholic
WHAT!?!?! A friend of Obama’s is a pedo?? ‘No surprise here.
