First, what is it about that particular pulpit that brings out the inner Chris Rock in assorted Men of God?
Unfortunately…Fr. Michael Pfleger has moved to the top of my favorite funny YouTube video list. Displacing Spiders on Drugs. Which is a shame, because the “crack spider” is neither divisive, scandalous nor just plain embarrassing to his comrades. If I were a THC spider, I’d just spin a hammock and watch Fr. Pfleger go.

The introduction of “prophetic, powerful pulpiteer” does have a certain alliterative zing. Perhaps I shall try to use it when accessing our parish’s new Suggestion Box. As in:
Dear Fr. – You are a prophetic, powerful pulpiteer. BTW, have you considered giving that woman in the back office a raise? Just a suggestion…
