Cardinal Blase Cupich of Chicago forcefully denounced a priest who hosted a speech by Louis Farrakhan, saying the church should not have provided a platform for the Nation of Islam leader to 'smear' the Jewish people
Cardinal Blase Cupich of Chicago forcefully denounced the priest who hosted a speech by Louis Farrakhan, saying the church should not have provided a platform for the Nation of Islam leader to"smear" the Jewish people.
Chicago's St. Sabina Catholic Church hosted Farrakhan on Thursday, just a week after he was among several leaders banned from Facebook for fomenting"hate and violence." The pastor of the church, the Rev. Michael Pfleger, said he has known Farrakhan for 30 years and invited the controversial leader because he disagreed with Facebook's decision. Despite the ban, the speech was livestreamed on St. Sabina's Facebook page.
