I guess I was distracted by Pfleger's quasi Elvis-era ducktail hairdo and the fact that he speaks with a black ghetto accent these days.

For someone who has taken a vow of poverty, $100+ shirts seem excessive when LLBean would suffice. Now it may have been a gift, but I doubt it because I don't trust him. I think he has something on somebody, and that it is the reason he was not dismissed long ago.<br /><br />Cardinal Francis George is a topic better left for another discussion. rjphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12366032291597903310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7612367701941502836.post-20524046932108152692013-07-19T16:44:34.555-05:002013-07-19T16:44:34.555-05:00Bishops are, for all practical purposes, politicia...Bishops are, for all practical purposes, politicians and George is a consummate pol. <br /><br />He seems always looking for "consensus."<br /><br />Too bad he's not more like PM Maggie Thatcher who said "I am not motivated by consensus, but rather conviction."Chicago Lampoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04156263304836143442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7612367701941502836.post-82618191786346536032013-07-19T07:10:55.126-05:002013-07-19T07:10:55.126-05:00Reminds of the Sunday that his Eminence came to ce...Reminds of the Sunday that his Eminence came to celebrate our Centennial. I greeted him and asked him to teach us the imprecatory prayers, to teach us to pray like he's got a <br />'pair'. His jaw dropped and he was speechless. I just went on in to get ready for mass. No need to spoil the occasion. <br />Psalm 69 seems to be about right but I was told this Sunday that those psalms are not included in our prayer books.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
