Reader Mail Blasts Father Pfleger

Father Pfleger and his antics continue to draw comments from Church Report Readers, here are just a few of the hundreds we received:

I was always under the impression that Pastors, Preachers, men of the Cloth….should be preaching The “Love of Christ”, however, in Wright and Fleger’s case, they preach hatred. I wonder what Jesus would do if he was in that church when they preached their sermons, which weren’t sermons at all.

Thank goodness this priest was removed---someone woke up to the fact something should be done about
priests that act in an unchristian way. Bravo



I am pleased he has had a painful week, he does not deserve to stand in any pulpit of any Christian church and spew the hate, bias and ridicule that harms the image of Jesus Christ and his teachings. Since he has been sanctioned many times by the Bishop, why is he not dismissed for his hypocrisy? Obama waited too late to leave this sick congregation and its many hateful leaders. I want a president who will represent all Americans, no matter what race, ethnicity, religion or party bias. Too bad Obama has lost credibility and integrity with me and many other voters.

This man is no man of God!!!! Jesus taught love and nothing has come out of this man's MOUTH BUT HATE,Wright's or anyone that is connected with that church seems to follow the same pattern or should I say that Wright led the other's to follow him..The church it self seems to do nothing but down grade anyone that isn't black,especially whites.

Editor: I have been outspoken for a long time about my thoughts on Rev, Pfleger, dating back to last summer when he called for the “snuffing” of a gunshop owner in Chicago. I am glad the Catholic church finally took this opportunity to silence this man.



One reader objected to a recent column from Harry Jackson, a long time Church Report columnist. The article title, “Foreplay or Rough Sex with Evangelicals”. The article focused on the various gay groups forcing their agendas on churches.


Mark wrote: “I greatly object to the headline “Foreplay or rough sex.” Crude language is not “cute.” I expected better from you.

Editor: Mark (last name withheld), I agree. I don’t like the title either, but I won’t disrespect an author and re-title his or her work. I also object a lot more strongly to the gay agenda pushing in on Christian values and there is no greater example of this than the rifts in so many mainline churches as they continue to struggle with this issue.
