[...] My question is: What will it take for the Catholic Church to cut themselves loose of this racial huckster? “Have the balls” to fire him already. (See also Catholics against Pfleger.) [...]

#1…..The Catholic Church isn’t going to lose it’s tax exempt status.

#2…..The Catholic Church is very good at defusing/sweeping under the rug controversy concerning it’s priests.

#3…..Religion is so intertwined into the DNA of this country that it can’t be separated from the social and political fabric.

I have to admit that I gained a sense of ethics from my church when I was younger and I am grateful for that. I believe in God, that He exists, and I gain comfort from my prayers. It seems to me that atheists and agnostics are victims of their own hubris.

However, I don’t have much use for churches or other organized religious and antireligious organizations. They are imperfect at best…and capable of doing real harm at their worst.

I admire the determination of some that speak out in order to change unjust and wrong-headed policies by their religions. I hope they succeed.

But I don’t have a dog in this fight…

allrsm, I realize you’re trying to make some sort of bigger point, but with all due respect, you should probably brush up on your con law. Start by googling the term “state action”.

Petition to Defrock Father Pfleger (Pfather Pfreaky)…

You’ll recall the freaky Father’s recent appearance at far-out, leftist, Black Nationalist, anti-Christian, Trinity United Church Of Christ: As Nice Deb notes, this guy is an embarrassment to the Catholic church whose words and deeds abuse the teachi…

spokeswoman, Colleen Dolan said, ”The cardinal has made it clear to Father Pfleger in the past on more than one occasion that it’s inappropriate to speak about political issues from the pulpit and that his own personal opinions are his own personal opinions.”

Seperation of church and state??? Where are all the sceamers on this one. It is unconstitutional to display the origional bases of our law (10 commandments) in a court house. Yet it IS constitutional to preach politics in a church as a sermon??? Lets see one is respect of Americian law, the other is to hate all of America? Ok I got it.

“Catholics for Obama.” How stupid. Why do Catholics have to be swing voters? We all used to be conservative.

“Catholics for Obama”??

How could anyone consider themselves Catholic and vote for a candidate who feels partial-birth abortion should be the law of the land?

This guy needs to be removed so he can’t retire on my donations.

Pope Benedict needs to act if hsi cardinals will not.

Too bad Pope Benedict seems to have gone deaf when it comes to FlakyPfleger. This embarrassment to the Church needs to go to an isolated and contemplative extended retreat – - say, 50 years?

Dakine, I agree with you.

If churches paid taxes and had any degree of accountability at all, we might be surprised at what we find. I imagine the justice department would be flooded with fraud cases, as innocent well-intentioned people realize most of their money is being stolen. Thugs like the subject in question wouldn’t be able to hide behind their special status. There are plenty of them on both sides of the political spectrum.

And of course then we could stop arguing this silly “separation of church and state” nonsense, and start teaching the bible in schools again, as they did for a couple of hundred years before WWII.
