"Rev. Michael Pfleger is set to return June 16 after mocking Sen. Hillary Clinton, St. Sabina official says" from the Chicago Tribune reports that the bombastic pastor of St. Sabina's Catholic Church in Southside Chicago will be back June 16th - in time for a long, hot summer of pre-convention campaign time to erupt again.
Cardinal Francis George had ordered the fiery activist priest to take two weeks off after Pfleger's widely broadcast comments mocking Sen. Hillary Clinton and saying, in what he later called a slip of the tongue, that "America is the greatest sin against God."
Some of his intensely devoted parishioners were worried that his sabbatical would prove permanent. So when a St. Sabina official announced during mass that Pfleger would return June 16, the church exploded in cheers.
