St Sabina Parish Protests Cardinal's Action

This was to be expected, but it doesn't seem like much of a protest.

The decision to remove Father Michael Pfleger, the Catholic priest who berated Hillary Clinton from the floor of Barack Obama’s former church, has drawn criticism from members of St. Sabina Church where Pfleger is the pastor.

St. Sabina President Gerald Stewart said members of the church “wholeheartedly disagree” with Cardinal Francis George’s decision and “respectfully request” that Pfleger be reinstated because of the significant impact he has had on the Chicago community....

The priest was given a two week paid vacation. He might need more time than that.
