Pleger should be defrocked--very simple. This man is a poor representation of Jesus and a Christian as is Wright. But Wright and Jackson are all self proclaimed "Reverends". But a Priest?? Does Chicago make their own rules? They gave Pfleger a time out? and how is it that he has adopted kids? He's a Priest, right? Sorry, Chicago, sounds like not my kind of town.

" The preacher proclaimed, "Throw your money to the ceiling. That which sticks is yours that which falls to the floor is the Lord's." It's amazing what people will do when they are totally energized and controlled by a speaker. Fr.(?) Faker and Rev(?) Jackson are not the only ones. Some of these preachers on television are fleecing their flocks and convincing their flocks of the most amazing things. I know from personal experience. My mother was duped for decades by one. She sent in a large portion of her social security check to one of these guys. Every time he asked for money on television, she sent a check. She believed everything they said and spent hours everyday praying to the television set. Sad. This reminds me of a punchline I heard years ago.

Pfleger himself came from neighboring "Tommy" More parish, there are THRIVING Catholic parishes and schools all around, which even us white suburbanites send our kids to. 79th street is a cornucopia of religion with storefront churches four to a block all the way down to the Nation of Islam headquarters on the east end of the street. Every Mass we stand and recite the Nicene Creed, which does NOT include a declaration of allegiance to Fr Pfleger. What's there to be afraid of by dumping him? God is quite capable of moving men's hearts to continue to worship Him around 79th & Racine.

The U.S. Council of Bishops breaks with the Vatican on so many issues. It's sort of like what happened to the Democrat Party in 1968. The numbers of Catholics in America is increasing yearly due to the arrival of immigrants, mostly from Mexico. However, many white Americans are leaving the church for right-of-center evangelical churches. The Vatican II council did to the Catholic Church what Admiral Zumwalt did to the Navy.

They purposely put themselves in an adversarial position and intended to cause harm, thus they should not be surprised when others view them with suspicion. We all have great freedom in this country but with that comes the responsibility to conduct ourselves in a respectable manner and those that don't do that run the risk of losing their freedoms.
