Who Is Reverend Michael Pfleger? Chicago Priest Accused of Sexual Abuse

Who Is Reverend Michael Pfleger? Chicago Priest Accused of Sexual Abuse On 1/26/21 at 11:54 AM EST Reverend Michael Pfleger made headlines earlier this year when he was removed from his Chicago ministry over allegations of child sexual abuse said to have gone back decades. The influential Roman Catholic priest, 71, stepped down from his parish in the South Side of the city on January 5, as authorities launched an investigation into claims that Pfleger abused a pre-teen boy in the 1970s. Now, another man has also come forward. Pfleger vehemently denies the allegations. Born in May of 1949, Pfleger was ordained as a priest for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago on May 14, 1975.

Says he is ‘hurt” but faith is strong By Chinta Strausberg Since Father Michael L. Pfleger was appointed pastor of Saint Sabina in 1981, the youngest priest ever to hold that position, he has brokered more than a dozen gang truces, saved young Black men from the clutches of the prison system, fought for food for those who are unemployed and underemployed, and has demanded reciprocity for Blacks. Father Pfleger became a priest after witnessing his neighbors in Marquette Park throwing rocks at Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. That incident was the trigger that led him to the priesthood. And it was the love of children that led him to adopt three Black boys: Lamar, Jarvis Franklin, 17, who was killed on May 30, 1999, and Beronti Simms who died a few years ago. Father Pfleger has dedicated his life to fighting gun violence.
