I think the whole thing is a complete farse and should be used for a plot in a sitcom. There used to be an Irish sitcom I loved called Father Ted. It basically featured 3 miss-fit priests who had at some point caused embarrasment to the church and so were sent to Craggy Island where they couldn’t do any harm.
It just seems like the story with Rev. Michael Pfleger is something that Father Ted would’ve got into trouble about with Bishop Brenan. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, I suggest you head over to youtube and watch some videos.
