Priest denies communion to Obama Supporter

Here we go again.

Anyone remember the Priest who denied John Kerry his supporters communion 4 years ago? And so it starts. The priest needs to be identified, so his parish can be stripped of its tax-exempt status.

Its going to get a lot worse.

The GOP Knows their candidate is weak.

This will be worse than 2000 and 2004.

This priest needs to be fired!

You're worried about a priest denying someone communion when "Father" Pfleger is preaching hate and the Catholic Church does nothing about it?

My friend says they were quoting the book of revelations in her church . It says something about how the anti-christ will come in the form of a 40 something man with Muslim background. The priest didn't name Obama but come on! Anyway if they cover up the sexual abuse of children this won't exactly provoke excommunication.

Hey, I've been ex-d out of some of 2-3. By some of the biggest arrogant a-holes in the church -- they never did nothing for me.

"It says something about how the anti-christ will come in the form of a 40 something man with Muslim background."

The Bible doesn't say that. It infers the following about the anti-Christ:

will come from the revived Roman Empire (i.e. European Union so probably out of Brussels)

will be handsome

will be a persuasive speaker

will be single (possibly homosexual)

Well it's great of the church to quote a chain letter instead of actually READING the book of Revelations.

As Goth said, it doesn't say that.

Father Pfleger is probably just frustrated because now he's so well known he can't cruise the Bijou Theatre anymore.

The priest is basically following the the teachings of the church

Let us boil him in oil & draw & quater him for doing this

Jon your statement is a bit broad - basically saying all priests are molesters.

What gives him the right to deny someone Holy Communion? There's something missing from this story.

Priests can deny giving communion to parishioners not considered to be in good standing within the church. It is pretty much up to clergy to exercise this at their discretion, which leaves a large grey area.

Okay Roxy, I'm dying to hear the explanation of how this statement is broad and implying that all priests are molesters?

Father Pfleger is probably just frustrated because now he's so well known he can't cruise the Bijou Theatre anymore.

Broad in what sense? He specifically said Father Pfleger. Nothing broad there. And what does cruising the Bijou have to do with molesters?

"The Bible doesn't say that. It infers the following about the anti-Christ:

The latter rules out Blair and Sarkozy then.
