If Archbishop George won't listen to complaints about this priest or do anything about it, then who can we complain to? Give us an address!

[RealCatholicTV]

@zita1950 His Holiness Pope Benedict XIV, Apostolic Palace, Vatican City.

If you delay in writing, it will be Castel Gandolfo. :)

In all seriousness, it could be very difficult to effect change via these methods. We recommend prayer and spreading the truth. He can rant all he likes - but if people are inocculated against his evil, then it is just noise.

[XSC3]

I hear what you're saying, but then that gets to a question of motive... is he "imitating preaching styles sometimes used by those who oppose the Church" IN ORDER to distance himself from Catholic liturgical styles, or is he doing it for some other reason?

[RealCatholicTV]

@XSC3 GIven that he is distancing himself from Catholic doctrine, morals, and authority, what do you think? :)

[AbundantDivineMercy]

I feel sick.

Fr. Phleger is in need of our prayers, and a new job.

[RealCatholicTV]

@empacae The man is a heretic - he says and believes heretical things. There might be a reason for it (and he should certainly get help - which means being taught the truth if he genuinely does not know it). BUT . . . this is very unlikely. The man is a priest. He knows what he is supposed to believe. And he chooses not to believe it.

[drdst17]

He was re-instated by the Cardinal a month after the suspension.

[lauermar]

Finally this loose cannon is dismissed. Heard it on relevant radio today.

@tailspin37 He's going now :)

[tailspin37]

Why aren't these priests defrocked. If I were present and a priest acted like this at a Mass, I would get up and leave the church building.

@lauran08

Excellent post, excellent observation, excellent choice quote from St. John Chrysostom. Well done lauran08. Thank you. ;-)

[trollcrusher242]

(CONTINUED FROM ABOVE) guy continues to be such a rebel within the Church based upon his alliance with the black community on Chicago's South Side. A priest disobeying his vocational obligations by REFUSING to transfer to another parish (as ALL priests are subjected to do so every several years) with the threat of taking "his" parishoners with him? Unheard of in the Church until the time of Martin Luther's "Ninety-Five Theses" back in 1517 A.D. Somebody give Pfleger the boot please.

[trollcrusher242]

This "father" Pfleger really, REALLY needs to get the boot from the Roman Catholic Priesthood. What this guy is promoting / advocating is akin to what an individual would find being openly displayed / taught in an 1st A.M.E. (First African Methodist Episcopal "church") or along the tenets of the Protestant Anglican "church" (i.e. married "priests", female [read - lesbian] clergy, openly homosexual "priests", etc.). Guy needs to go. Like years ago ... sad that this (CONTINUED)

[eowynfina]

the Priesthood isn't a job; it is a Holy Order. - Refering to what AbundantDivineMercy was talking about.

Also, this guy sounds like he is in the KKK. Scary. He should be excommunicated.

[oscardoggie]

Fact: 80% of his congregation is not Catholic! Cardinal George, lead or get out of the way!

[Geremia08]

Thank you and God bless you, Michael Voris.
