Chicago Archdiocese as Democrat Satellite
A powerful opinion piece by Tom Roeser rips into the Pfleger controversy like a hot knife. Roeser, who know Chicago politics better than most local politicians know it, lays much blame at the doorstep of the Archdiosese and the local Democrats for allowing the racist rants of racist priest Michael Pfleger to continue. He goes so far as to call the local Catholic power structure a puppet entity of the political party that has an ass as its symbol:
Excerpt:
Only when Pfleger becomes “persona non grata” with the Democratic party that pulls the ecclesial strings will the archdiocese be forced to do what it has not had the courage to do heretofore—subdue him....The Chicago archdiocese has long been a satellite of the ruling Democratic families who diss doctrine that is inconvenient with the party....The future of the Democratic ticket in Illinois depends on Obama doing well in this state. It has been regarded as a near-certainty but if anyone can derail it and cause working class whites to defect, it is rants by the white Pfleger which touch on anti-white bigotry.
