Supporters of the Rev. Michael Pfleger, longtime leader of St. Sabina Catholic Church and the target of a recent sexual abuse allegation, called for the reinstatement of the beloved pastor Thursday.

“Restore Father Pfleger to St. Sabina immediately,” said Andrew M. Stroth, an attorney in Auburn Gresham. “There is zero evidence.”
