Been a while since I’ve covered a local South Side story, but this one stands out.
Father Michael Pfleger, the longtime pastor of St. Sabina Catholic Church at 79th and Racine on Chicago’s South Side, is facing renewed scrutiny. This weekend, the Archdiocese of Chicago announced a new allegation of sexual abuse of a minor dating back decades. Pfleger has stepped aside from ministry during the investigation and strongly denies the claim, calling it “an absolute lie.”
He was previously removed over similar accusations but was reinstated after church reviews cleared him. These repeated claims deserve full transparency and due process.
