"Cardinal Cupich reinstates leftist, pro-LGBT priest after latest abuse allegation"

"Cardinal Blase Cupich, the heterodox archbishop of Chicago, reinstated leftist Father Michael Pfleger as the senior pastor of St. Sabina Church on the South Side last week after a review board said that there was 'no reason' to believe that the priest was guilty of his 10th accusation of sexual abuse.

In an August 24 statement, Cupich announced that Fr. Pfleger, who has a long history of contradicting Catholic teaching on homosexuality, female 'ordination,' the papacy, and endorsing pro-abortion and leftist politicians, has been cleared of a July allegation of sexual abuse involving a minor that dates back over 30 years, following the investigation of an 'independent review board.'

Since 2021, the priest has been accused of sexual abuse five times before being cleared and allowed to resume his heterodox 'ministry' following an inquiry...

In January 2021, Pfleger was accused of sexually abusing two brothers years earlier when they were minors, leading him to be asked to step down. Just two months later, in March 2021, another man came forward accusing the priest of abusing him back in the 1970s as well. However, Pfleger was quickly reinstated about two months after the third allegation was made, after the archdiocese similarly determined that there was 'insufficient reason' to suspect he was guilty of the allegations...

Pfleger has also blatantly contradicted Catholic teaching several times over the years, notably pushing for the 'ordination' of women to the priesthood, a 'woman pope,' and an end to priestly celibacy.

Pfleger also has a long history of promoting pro-abortion politicians and public figures. The priest became one of the most high-profile Catholic supporters of pro-abortion presidential candidate Barack Obama in 2007, praising him as 'the best thing to come across the political scene since Bobby Kennedy.'

Pfleger has also handed over the pulpit at St. Sabina to several pro-abortion figures over the years, such as singer Harry Belafonte, who criticized former president George W. Bush for threatening a 'woman’s right to abortion,' as well as former pro-abortion Democratic presidential candidate Al Sharpton."
