My Epic Journey

A reminder of who we are in Christ from 1Peter 2.9-17

I feel as if I do need to explain the Pfleger video posting.

Though I do believe that Pfleger is correct in his view that we, as Caucasians, feel as if we "automatically deserve" extraordinary treatment, I do in NO WAY condone the comments made by Pfleger.  I believe to attack a person to make a point in essence negates the point you are trying to make.  That is why I made the comment that this is odd behavior form a Catholic priest.  I am disappointed that a man who claims to "represent" God can attack a person in such a vicious way.

So,

1)  I would agree with what Pfleger was trying to say–that we just assume we deserve special treatment, but . . .

2)  I believe he MUST apologize to senator Clinton and seriously re-evaluate the comments that he has made in attacking another person.

I was absolutely shocked by the recent video posted on youtube.com showing catholic priest, Michael Pfleger, flipping out on stage about Senator Hillary Clinton.

I am not going to lie–the clip is intriguing to me.  And this is why:

1.  It is just funny and odd to see a catholic priest act in such a way.

2.  It shows you the power of encouragement.  The more the crowd got into it, the more Pfleger ‘hammed’ it up.

3.  I believe there is truth in what Pfleger said.  You and I both know that as white people we do expect a certain privilege and right to what is not always our’s.  I am glad that Pfleger was so bold but I am not sure it should have been stated at church during a service in which you know WILL end up in the public realm.
