Controversial priest returns to the pulpit
The Rev. Michael Pfleger, told ABC's "Good Morning America" he doesn't apologize for being passionate or exercising free speech, but does apologize " when my passion or my freeness and my flawedness of character get in the way of a content which is much more important to me."
Pfleger returned to his pulpit Sunday. He delivered the controversial sermon May 25 as a guest preacher at Trinity United Church of Christ, likely Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama's longtime church, which he has since left.
While Pfleger apologized for mocking Clinton and said he would no longer speak about candidates, he said he would continue to discuss politics.
In his "Ain't Nothing Like a Comeback" sermon Sunday, Pfleger told parishioners at St. Sabina's Catholic Church he would not "run and hide, nor allow them to cause me to 'play it safe' or become silent."
Clinton, D-N.Y., suspended her presidential bid in early June.

when you start down the rocky road of spewing garbage from the pulpit as did this man you have to regard him as unfit for the position of active minister, paul warned timothy be careful who you put in that position for what harm they do to the church you share the burden of that sin equally, when there is a problem within the church act immediatly on it "delaying not," out of fear or timidness," this man committed a severe and grossly wrong act while visiting to tucc, and now he's back, oh well I quess that's why I'm Protestant, I am able to say No I Will not Allow this in my Church,,
