This story from April 28 relates that Francis Cardinal George of Chicago has suspended the sacramental facilities of Fr. Michael Pfleger of St. Sabina's parish on the South Side. This is big news in Chicago and a real showdown. Pfleger has been at the parish for many years longer than is customary for any archdiocesan priest–concerns about ramifications of moving him apparently contributed to his being excepted. Now, the question is will he and the Cardinal come to an understanding, and if not, will he attempt to take the South Side congregation with him (he is quite popular, as they say).

RE the above post: This IS NOT even a question. It’s plain silly. Catholics are united in all parishes around the world and can worship at any one. Pfleger may be defrocked. Who then are his “followers?”
P.S. BTW, we in the Church follow God and Christ.
I’m afraid the Archdiocese of Chicago has succeeded in creating a parish that is Protestant in all but name. God bless.
