Father Michael Pfleger reportedly had threatened to quit the Catholic Church if he was made to take an assignment running a Catholic school and leave St. Sabina Catholic Church, where he’s served for three decades.In a letter released Wednesday, Cardinal Francis George said that violated Pfleger’s vows to obey.
