Chicago parish fiercely backs priest after sex abuse claims

Michael Pfleger, a charismatic priest of a thriving Black Catholic parish, inspired her to become an activist and recruited her to run his South Side church's violence prevention office. Stories like Bosley’s are recurrent at St. Sabina Church, a close-knit community that’s been a social activism hub for 40 years under Pfleger. Black Catholic parishes are few and dwindling. Of roughly 21,000 American Catholic parishes, about 800, or less than 4%, are mostly Black, according to a University of Notre Dame and National Black Catholic Congress study. Black priests are more rare, making up 250, or under 1%, of roughly 36,500 Catholic priests, according to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.

Hunt still on for suspects in ransacking of Chicago stores

FILE In this Monday, Aug. 10, 2020, file photo, Kajal Dalal walks through the her family's food and liquor store after it was vandalized in downtown Chicago. A Chicago police task force that was formed after crowds swarmed into downtown and smashed their way into hundreds of stores in August is still investigating and making arrests four months later.

Just as detectives stitched together videos to follow two men who allegedly participated in the attack on Smollett, Looting Task Force detectives followed suspects as they moved from store to store.

Chicago chief's firing again rattles confidence in force

Lightfoot's action to fire Johnson came less than a month after she lauded him as he announced plans to transition out of the job early next year and help his interim successor transition into it. Brown called Johnson's firing an "unnecessary humiliation" given that he was so close to retirement. "It's not about Eddie Johnson," FOP President Kevin Graham told the Chicago Sun-Times. Revelations about Johnson came during a week of other troubling stories for the department. The firing has raised concern that the final chapter in Johnson's career might distract from the serious questions about racism and excessive force that continue to dog the department.
