Pfleger "apologizes" .... well not really

From Curt Jester
The Archdiocese of Chicago acted fairly quickly in posting Fr. Pfleger so-called apology.
“On Sunday, April 11, while preaching a sermon on the power of fear, I was referring to the fear that paralyzed the apostles, locking them in a room, leaving only John and the women at the foot of the cross. I stated that is why I believe women ought to be able to be ordained, as well as priests ought to be able to get married.”
“While this is my personal opinion, I do respect and follow the Catholic Church teachings, and I am sorry I failed to do this.” [Huh?]
No doubt Cardinal George will feel himself off the hook now, though would surely love to be totally wrong on this.

How about an Archdiocesan teaching moment here on Church teaching and the levels of Church teaching?

Fr.  Pfleger seems to have taken the Catholic politician “personally opposed but …” dodge and stood it on its head.  ”I’m personally for, but …”  The lasts sentence make zero sense and is itself opposed to Church teaching.
Whole article from Curt Jester 

The only reason Pfleger-Alinsky maintains his Catholic priesthood is to destroy it.

And if you have a REALLY strong stomach and aren't tempted to sudden bursts of rage (I don't want to be an occasion of sin here:<)!):
