Father Pfleger: The Shortest Suspension on Record

Ranting lunatic Father Michael Pfleger, after a token suspension, is now back in business in Chicago: Pfleger to return to St. Sabina with ‘no restrictions’.

The South Side parish of St. Sabina exploded with shouts of joy and a standing ovation Sunday morning at the news firebrand Catholic pastor Rev. Michael Pfleger would be returning June 16.

Cardinal Francis George temporarily removed the outspoken priest from his parish last week following comments Pfleger made about then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Pfleger had said Clinton believed she was entitled to the Democratic nomination because she is white. Pfleger is white, while most of his parishioners are African-American.

At a three-hour Sunday mass filled with songs and dancing, pastoral associate Kimberly Lymore read a letter from Pfleger in which the priest wrote, “This has been a very painful time for me personally and for our church family.”

“Let this time be a teaching moment for us to hear the Lord, to grow closer to him and become even stronger to build a kingdom on Earth as it is in heaven,” Pfleger wrote.

The worst aspect of 'typical familyism' (as media-merchandised) is that it glorifies involuntary homogenization.
