In the continuing chapter, Fr. Pfleger on his Facebook page said:<\/p>\n

\u201cSunday, I mentioned in my Sermon that I believe in married Priests and Woman Priests,\u201d the Facebook comment reads.\u00a0 \u201cI was then told that I had to apologize for saying it durning [sic] a Sermon because that is not allowed, even though that is my opinion.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have received much hate from the right-winged who want my removal,\u201d he added.\u00a0 \u201cAmazing… Nobody Blogged me or youtubed me about helping Save our children or Stopping the Violence…\u201d
\n[Ref<\/a>]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I just love the sweet sound of contriteness and when someone repents. \u00a0I rejoice along with the Angels – oh wait.<\/p>\n

Now as to his complaints for nobody talking about his “good works.” \u00a0Whatever good works he does, does not require any special pointing out. \u00a0As followers of Christ what we do should be out of love of God and neighbor and being pointed out for any special praise. \u00a0Besides it would not simply cancel out his being in dissent with the Church anyway.<\/p>\n

I guess the Archdiocese must have borrowed got a gun from the gun shop owner Fr. Pfleger previous\u00a0threatened\u00a0to \u00a0“snuff” and forced him to issue an apology. \u00a0I would have a little more respect for Father here if had refused to apologize because he held women’s ordination to be a truth not to be denied. \u00a0Instead he takes the cowards way out and issues what is in effect a lie since he is in no way contrite for his actions as his Facebook page shows.<\/p>\n

Well I guess it is a case of being careful about what you would ask for. \u00a0I had hoped said on Twitter that Fr. Pfleger should apologize for his apology – and he did exactly that to his Facebook\u00a0sycophants.<\/p>\n

Plus the Archdiocese does not come off scott free in this either. \u00a0They asked him to apologize and then put the problematic \u00a0non-apology on the Diocesan site. \u00a0Does charity demand that we accept an apology that textually shows it is not a real apology at all?<\/p>\n
