Chicago Cardinal Removes Plfeger From Pastoral Duties
Cardinal Francis George, the Archbishop of Chicago, announced Tuesday that he has removed Father Plfeger from his position as Pastor of St. Sabina’s Parish.
“To put recent events in some perspective, I have asked Father Michael Pfleger, Pastor of St. Sabina’s Parish, to step back from his obligations there and take leave for a couple of weeks from his pastoral duties, effective today,” Cardinal George said in a statement.

Pfleger mimicked Clinton while delivering a guest sermon at Trinity United Church of Christ two Sundays ago. During the sermon, Pfleger, who is white, mocked Clinton for getting choked up on camera before the New Hampshire primary in January.
“When Hillary was crying … I really don’t believe it was put on. I really believe that she just always thought ‘This is mine. I’m Bill’s wife. I’m white. And this is mine’,” he said, shouting at times. “Then out of nowhere came, ‘Hey I’m Barack Obama’. And she said, ‘Oh damn! Where did you come from? I’m white! I’m entitled! There’s a black man stealing my show!’”
Less than a week after Plfeger had made these comments, Barack Obama severed all ties with Trinity United Church. Obama declared the huge backlash was the deciding factor.
The huge backlash? Why did it have to be the backlash that ultimately made him leave the church? Why was it not the sermons that these “pastors” have been spewing from the pulpit for years that made him leave? Why wasn’t it the hate speech that should have disgusted him so much that he wanted to leave on his own terms?
This truly speaks volumes as to what Obama’s beliefs are and the kind of person he truly is.
