That was my reaction first time I heard the name of this place years ago. It was popular and well-frequented in some parts of the country, the food was good, the people extra friendly, but there wasn’t one anywhere near where I lived in Chicago. Times have certainly changed, but the reaction hasn’t.

Cardinal Francis George honors the controversial Fr. Michael Pfleger with an award....and tries to teach a lesson about justice and love and life.
