Priest Defies Cardinal Cupich, Burns Gay Flag

A North Side priest who says he “can’t sit well” with Cardinal Blase Cupich burned a gay-friendly flag outside his Avondale church last week — against the wishes of the cardinal he claims is trying to minimize the clergy sex-abuse crisis.

Rev. Paul Kalchik says the banner, featuring a cross superimposed over a rainbow, had been featured prominently in the sanctuary at Resurrection Catholic Church but had been taken down and was forgotten in storage at the parish at 3043 N. Francisco for more than a decade.

Kalchik led seven parishioners in a prayer of exorcism Friday, and the flag was burned inside a portable fire pit placed the schoolyard next to the church. The ashes of the flag now rest in a church compost heap.

“That banner and what it stood for doesn’t belong to the Archdiocese or Cardinal Cupich. It belongs to the people of this parish who paid for it,” Kalchik said. “What have we done wrong other than destroy a piece of propaganda that was used to put out a message other than what the church is about?”

Cupich's name has been raised several times in connection to the clerical abuse scandals involving Pope Francis and the disgraced predator Cardinal McCarrick. Cupich supposedly was recommended for his position by McCarrick.

How very anti-Global and non-inclusive.



Luke 17:28-30 King James Version

28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

Better to burn a blasphemous Fag Flag than to BE burned in fire and brimstone.

I should think so. But has anyone considered Barack Hussein Obama's feelings?

[NorthMountain]

Barry Hussein is a homo. There’s really no room for doubt.

You bet and his wife is a yeti.

It is a homofascist activist symbol and is not inclusive. It explicity excludes heterosexuals.

But lately to broaden their ranks they’ve tried to count asexual/celibate among their “base”.

May God Bless this priest!

Regrettably, that priest is likely headed for sacerdotal Siberia.

Dear Father in Heave, cover Rev. Paul Kalchik with your protection against The Enemy; we ask this in the name of your Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ.

For Obama, rainbow White House was ‘a moment worth savoring’

With a colorful White House backdrop, (L) Kevin Barragan and his partner Adam Smith celebrate as do Kelly Miller (with glasses) and her wife Lindsey Miller.

Um....God called Cardinal and He WANTS HIS RAINBOW back.

[AppyPappy]

The flag was gay?

Please see post 13.

[God ... wants His rainbow back]

[NorthMountain]

There’s a picture of the banner with the article ... I’m not 100% sure that it was intended to be a Fag Flag. Even if it wasn’t, it deserves to be burned just for sheer ugliness.

[max americana]

I have no issue with this at all. He’s fighting satan and his faggot minions exactly as what God wanted instead of this BS that we “are all sinners but hey! Lets get together!” crap..

The flag should have been nailed to the front door of the appropriate cathedral and then burned.

Next you’re going to tell us that Ron Reagan Jr. is a rump ranger. And you know THAT’S surely not true.
