Father Pfleger's Chickens...Have Come Home to ROOST!

For a couple of weeks, anyway! Pfleger's Cardinal gave bad boy priest a two week "time out".

The firebrand pastor of St. Sabina parish was removed from his duties there Tuesday, according to a statement released by the Archdiocese of Chicago.

In the statement, Cardinal Francis George says he asked the Rev. Michael Pfleger, 59, to "take leave for a couple of weeks from his pastoral duties." The statement said Pfleger "does not believe this to be the right step at this time." "While respecting his disagreement, I have nevertheless asked him to use this opportunity to reflect on his recent statements and actions in the light of the Church's regulations for all Catholic priests," George said.

I suspect that with the good Father's fund raising abilities, this will not go on his "permanent record"!
