Father Pfleger couldn’t give it up, apparently, mocking the Clintons (and McCain) again last Sunday from his own pulpit at St. Sabina’s:
“Hillary and McCain would wish they had a preacher with the integrity of Jeremiah Wright. … They got some old weak preacher…some old Joel Osteen cotton candy preacher.”
The reference is to the preacher the Clintons heard on March 2 in Houston at Rev. Osteen’s Lakewood Church.
Now: Did he assure Cardinal George about no more political talk before or after last Sunday? Or is he merely comparing preachers?

Strictly personal observation….! When you get into a public role with some celebrity for being a reformer, the feedback can go to your head and you can confuse your celrbty with your cause. I experienced this in my career when I was a K-12 social studies curriculum reformer for the New Trier Townships schools. I got some things accomplished, but often upon reflection I probably did it as much for the celebrity as for the cause. The good padre may come to this same conclusion as he, like me, gets older
