That priest, Phfleger, has no credibility at all. Instead of going
after Clinton and whites, he should be cleaning up the obscene mess in his own Church. This is typical of the arrogance of the Catholic Clergy. And, by the way, I'm Catholic and from Boston and had a few close encounters with the Church's best and brightest and most corrupt so I think I can talk about this.

This priest should clean up his own drity house.

1. That's right! And I think Hillary should make that point in her next speech.
I'd love to see her do that. :evilgrin:

2. Im sorry, I don't know who "Phfleger" is.
I was paying too much atention to the war and the economy I guess.

5. HIs own church is a mess. The roof caved in due to lack of upkeep and they
have to go to Mass in the community center ever since.

6. Thank you for patronizing the RW spin. Your gift card to Applebee's will arrive shortly.
That you are even talking about this story means the spin worked. Sorry, it's just how it is.

7. This Priest...
Has done quite a bit for the poor Chicago community that his church, Saint Sebina, is in.
He puts his butt on the line in that neighborhood every day. He's rallied that neighborhood to kick the dealers off the streets and many other things that, you, not living in Chicago have no clue about. He's cleaning his house and doing a pretty decent job of it.
Now if all the information you have on him is drawn from the last week, and one video clip on heavy rotation, you're missing the boat.
If you ask any of his paritioners if he is your typical priest, I'm sure you'd find that answer to be a resounding no.

Phfleger generally doesn't mince his words, he isn't a politician. It's gotten him in hot water before when he's gone up against the church, and the City of Chicago for what he thought was right. His words weren't helpful to Obama, but they don't have to be they're his words, not Obama's.

If you're so disillusioned with Catholicism, maybe its time to move on.




All this damned pastorbating is really getting on my damned nerves. Isn't there a war to end, or something a bit more important than this?

The collateral damage from this primary is absolutely astounding...
I need a :smoke:

8. I thought it was a disgusting display by a nutjob...
I don't blame Obama for it at all. I do wish he'd been more forceful in his repudiation, but that's just me.
