Father Pfleger out, at least temporarily, at St. Sabina

CBS 2 Chicago is reporting this afternoon that Cardinal Francis George, who in the past has made his displeasure with the controversial pastor at St. Sabina's Church on Chicago's South Side, has temporarily removed Pfleger from that post.

By most accounts the Cardinal has wanted to boot Pfleger for quite some time. But Pfleger built a personality cult around himself at St. Sabina, but to his credit, it's been Pfleger's presence that has filled the parish school with tuition-paying students.

    Great news. It is about time that "Catholic" priest gets the boot.

    I'm gonna keep an eye on him...I wonder if he's "schismatic?"

    Yes, but what are they teaching them?
