Pfleger update: "I'll preach at other churches"

The controversial Chicago priest made a statement about his situation last night.

Details from the AP and the Chicago Sun-Times:

The Rev. Michael Pfleger, suspended by the archdiocese after suggesting he would leave the church if he is removed from his parish, says he will begin preaching at other churches if he is not reinstated by this weekend.

Pfleger made the comment Tuesday during a meeting with parishioners at St. Sabina Catholic Church. Pfleger told about 150 people he has received offers to preach from churches around the U.S. He added he needs to get back to preaching.

Choking back tears, the outspoken priest said the suspension “has been very painful.”
