"I am insulted by this character assassination, but not surprised. The tactic is to divert the attention off the real issue, easy access to guns and turn it on me. It will not work!!!"
But unfortunately the tactic does work.
In June, Pfleger's superior, Cardinal Francis George, felt compelled to share his nonsupport for the priest by telling Chicago newspapers that "Publicly delivering a threat against anyone's life betrays the civil order and is morally outrageous, especially if this threat came from a priest."
Is the world's most powerful religious organization bowing to the gun lobby? Like the world's most powerful legislative body has?
Privately Chicago archdiocese priests say no.
Key word: privately.
