There's something painfully ironic about Pfleger's (if temporary) ouster.Gotta watch out for those Greek scholars. Give 'em an inch and they'll take a mile.He's been thumbing his nose at authority -- secular and sacred -- for years in pursuit of what he believes God has called him to do: fight for the poor and the oppressed; battle injustice in whatever form it appears, be it racism, sexism, or classicism; and to above all present the God of revolutionary love and radical grace to the world around him. That sometimes has meant disobeying civil and canon law.
Nice to see you here.

Flabberghasted, I said.

*if you keep to pipes, and did not smoke cigarettes before, the thing being the taste is sufficiently strong to give you a relish without drawing it down to lungs: which means you are also less likely to develop nicotine dependence...
