Chicago's Civil War Starts Today

No, we will not be fighting it out with the forces of Fr. Pfleger and Rev. Wright, rather the Cubs play the Sox this weekend at Wrigley Field. The series starts this afternoon.

the Black Jesus?

Yep, my reaction to the last line of this Chicago Tribune article was also a little, let's just say, a little shocked. Here is what a St. Sabina parishioner had to say about the ranting racist Catholic Priest, Fr. Michael Pfleger, "He's a black Jesus stuck in a white man's body". That is not Catholicism.

Fr. Michael Pfleger: the Bully Becomes the Victim

That's right, the constant bullying that has marked the career, for good or bad, of Chicago Catholic Priest Michael Pfleger has turned to victimhood and paranoia. The paranoia may be well placed but the victimhood is as predictable as day turns to night. Sun Times religion reporter Cathleen Falsani had an exclusive interview with Pfleger on Monday that generally sounded like a pity-fest, it included this piece of nonsense from Pfleger "(t)his is a dangerous time in America, the freest country in the world, where you have to whisper your thoughts."

Just like a schoolyard bully, when the bullying stops working the victimhood starts. It is also worth noting that the problem here according to Pfleger was his own imperilling of the Obama campaign rather than overt racism that underpinned Pfleger's "conversation."
