Just days after Cardinal George awarded him a lifetime achievement award, the Rev. Michael Pfleger has been caught on tape openly dissenting and teaching heresy from the pulpit during mass!
In this stunning video from a Divine Mercy Sunday homily, Fr. Pfleger openly calls for female ordination and female bishops.
Pfleger says…
“That’s why there should be woman priests, that’s why there should be married priests, that’s why there should be woman Bishops and women Cardinals”
There is a good poke in the eye for Cardinal George. The Cardinal was already facing criticism for honoring Fr. Pfleger and Pfleger returned the favor by open dissent.
Cardinal George cannot let this stand, especially after just conferring an award. Pfleger must be disciplined and forced to retract his statements or immeasurable harm will be done to the faith. If Pfleger teaching this heresy goes unchallenged by the Cardinal, people will rightly conclude that the Cardinal supports these views, after all he did just give him an award.
Pfire Pfleger, now.
A big ht to Pewsitter for the Vid

Is it possible to ledge a charge of heresy against him through the tribunal?

Early – good catch. I'm thinking maybe Helen is posting as Hank so we mysogynist hillbilly Papists will take the comment seriously.
…but then we won't be Papists anymore.
…so then we'll ignore the Bible.
…so then we'll ignore the message.
…and become Christians again…
etc. etc. It's an interesting attempt at a shibboleth, no?

Anon – thanks for the head's up on the apology. You can read about it in the Chicago Sun-Times. It really is disgusting. In essence he says, "Yeah, I believe there should be women priests, but the church doesn't. My bad." Then he continues in an interview to whine about why people are so angry about this when there are babies dying in China!
So, if any of us are uspet about lack of orthodoxy, it means we don't care about anything else. He's just on a "whole 'nuther level" than the rest of us.

I really do feel so bad for the good loyal priests of our Holy Church that have always been faithful servants, have led thousands to the Kingdom, and are being abused and tormented by the media and even so-called Catholics that have turned their backs on all priests because of the sins of a few. Honoring a heretic like this was disgraceful not only to us as Catholics, but even more so to our good, holy, servant priests and religious, many of whom have silently turned the other cheek while living their vocations.
THANK YOU to all of our true priests. We LOVE you, we SUPPORT you, and we PRAY for and with you daily.

It is time for someone to stand up and give the Pflegers and other clerical criminals one swift duff out the door. Yes, they will take some poor souls with them, but the Church will be the better off in the long run. This Pfleger character looks like a big fish in a little pond. One more we have on the lunatic fringe and have to call him "Father"?

Cardinal George represents "The Church Impotent."

Cardinal George is the problem, not the solution.
