Cardinal George has issued a statement:

The Catholic Church does not endorse political candidates. Consequently, while a priest must speak to political issues that are also moral, he may not endorse candidates nor engage in partisan campaigning.
Racial issues are both political and moral and are also highly charged. Words can be differently interpreted, but Fr. Pfleger’s remarks about Senator Clinton are both partisan and amount to a personal attack. I regret that deeply.
To avoid months of turmoil in the church, Fr. Pfleger has promised me that he will not enter into campaigning, will not publicly mention any candidate by name and will abide by the discipline common to all catholic priests.

The St. Sabina website, which features a letter sent by Pfleger to the Sun-Times defending both Wright and Obama.
(For those just now catching up – beyond the video of Pfleger preaching that made the rounds yesterday, Pfleger was, up until yesterday, part of the page on Obama’s website featuring “People of Faith for Obama.” Pfleger is an interesting case.)
Ellyn gives us something to snort about it the comments:  Cardinal George is most judicious in choosing his words. If I were in his position I might say “makin’ me crazy” instead of “regret that deeply” and “start acting normal” for “abide by the discipline common to all catholic priests.”
 
And…equal time. From Fr. Jim Lisante, former head of the Christophers.
