This video must be seen to be believed. This is the Rev. Michael Pfleger speaking at Jeremiah Wright’s Church. Fr. Pfleger is a Roman Catholic Priest who is in the Obama camp. Sorry, I take that back. It is much worse than that. I do believe he prefers Obama over Jesus.
If you don’t like Obama, why then you are a racist. Watch this amzing and outrageous video of Rev. Pfleger.

My immediate family has searched its geneaology on both sides, going back at least five generations, to when either came to the USA. We have been able to determine the unlikelihood that anyone in our lineage was ever in a position to own a slave. On the other hand, there is evidence that, by the time of the Civil War, as many as three thousand American freedmen owned a total of approximately ten thousand slaves.
So, is this priest talking about me? Could he not be just as easily be talking about some African-Americans in the crowd, especially if they too own 401K funds to which he refers?
I mean, if you’re going to make such a sweeping claim about people, you either back it up, or back off.
What a doofus.

I’d almost think he was trying to get McCain elected. So perhaps Jeremiah Wright wasn’t quite the aberration Obama would lead us to believe.

Let’s not forget that “Fr. Flakey” is the same guy who called for “snuffing out” Chicago-area gun shop owners and politicians who favor 2nd Amendment rights.
And the day before he did that, he welcomed Louis Farrakhan into his parish and lauded Farrakhan as “a gift from God to a sick, sick world.”

Why can’t we just take the dog-collar off of this guy, and others, and be done with it? This man is hardly catholic let alone priest material.I know about saints and sinners, but someone l
ike this should not represent me!

Why isn’t his bishop censoring him or suspending this sorry excuse for a priest – what scandal he has created for the Church!
May 30, 2008 at 8:31 am
He needs to be shushed. Just like the kid who talks too much in class, just shut him up. As an african american, I’m rather offrended by “Fr” Flakey’s actions.

He scares me…
Signed,
Archbishop George

Fr. Pfleger has been a thorn in the side of the archbishops of Chicago for some time now. Cardinal Bernardin tried to handle him and couldn’t. Cardinal George tried to move him to a new parish after his term limit was up and Pfleger threatened to start his own schismatic church. One has to ask–where is the strength and resolve of our archbishop? I truly believe that Cardinal George is a good man, but he has proven himself completely impotent as a governor of the Archdiocese of Chicago. No one trusts him to do what is right and necessary when push comes to shove. A common response among people in this archdiocese is “the Cardinal won’t do anything about it.” People on the right, who would otherwise be his supportesr, are simply waiting for him to retire because they realize his limitations. The Pfleger episode simply proves that it is time for Pfleger to go, but more importantly, if Cardinal George can continue to be bullied by one of his priests, then it is time for him to go as well.

I think it was St. John Vianney who said that the road to hell is paved with the skulls of priests.
I’m just sayin’s all.

Here’s the thing: does anyone think that he speaks that way when he speaks to a white congregation? of course not.
But then he imitates black preachers in front of black audiences? It’s so condescending.

Thanks, Anonymous, for some good points regarding Fr. Pfleger and His Eminence’s inability to yank his chain.
I watched the video last night feeling embarrassed for all parties. Embarrassed for Fr. Pfleger for he is a boor, and a 10th rate ham actor. Embarrassed for Trinity UCC in that it panders to racism rather paying homage to Christ and the Father’s divine image within each man. Embarrassed for the congregation–both the deceived blacks and stupid whites…who put up with this kind of flim-flammery with their cash as well as their seats. Embarrassed for our Church and our Cardinal–who cannot act in a loving, pastoral way and kick out the wolves that infest the Archdiocese–whether at the chancery level itself or out at Saint Sabina’s, et al.
One thing came out of this–is that all of us now have seen what an awful priest there is in Fr. Pfleger.

And what about the nappy haired hos?

Cardinal George to Father Pfleger: “Simmer down now!”
May 30, 2008 at 10:23 pm
Dudes. Stop lying. This isn’t real, and you know it.

…“Trinity UCC in that it panders to racism rather paying homage to Christ”
I was thinking the same thing, what’s the message here? Certianly this ‘church’ has nothing to do with Christ or Christianity.
It makes sense Barack Hussein Obama is the epitome of communist evil when he’s been brainwashed with this liberation theology garabge.
