Ready or Not, Pfleger Is Back!

Back during the democratic primaries, one of the major news stories concerned a Catholic priest who mocked Senator Hillary Clinton. Remember the sermon? During a sermon at Senator Barack Obama’s church, Rev. Michael Pfleger pretended that he was Mrs. Clinton crying over “a black man stealing my show” and the fact that Mrs. Clinton is “entitled to be president because I am white.”

Well, his sermon didn’t go over well with Barack Obama, the national media, or with Cardinal Francis George, his boss. Cardinal Francis George suspended Rev. Pfleger for a month.

Now, Pfleger is back! This past Sunday, Pfleger told a cheering congregation at St. Sabina church that he will not let his faults make him “play it safe or become silent.”

I am told that the ushers at St. Sabina handed out fliers with a silhouette of boxer Muhammad Ali and the words “Ain’t nothing like a comeback.”

What do you think about The Rev. Michael Pfleger? What did you think about his sermon at Obama’s church? What about his suspension? Was it long enough? Did he deserve more or less? What about his promise of not playing it safe or becoming silent?

I’d really like to hear your input on this one!
