Why Hasn't the Catholic Church censored Father Pfleger?
Edited on Fri May-30-08 09:10 AM by sparosnare
He's a Catholic priest and represents the Catholic Church, so why isn't the heirarchy of the church speaking out if what he's saying is so outrageous? Where is this man's congregation and what church does he shepherd? Does he talk like this to them?

These are legitimate questions the MSM should be asking if they're going to make this a story. We need to remember Pfleger was a GUEST pastor at Obama's church. A church of thousands.

Don't let the MSM drive your thinking.

1. Because Obama is Kevin Bacon.
He's connected to everyone, even in vaguely tangential ways, according to some people.

2. Took the Pope many years to denounce pedophile preists
Why would you expect them to move faster now?

9. while some of what he says may hold truth...
the presentation was over the top and very insulting. As an Obama supporter, I thought it was disgusting. The guy is certifiably nuts!

7. Because the Catholic Church has a longstanding policy of not giving a shit who it upsets.
It seems to work for them.

8. He has said publicly that if the Church dares to move him...
To another parish, he will leave the church to start his own religion.

What an ego.

10. Then why is he still in the church?
If that is his feeling he should be gone - with all that implies.
