A North Side priest who says he cant 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 doesnt 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?

No coincidence that Gay Rights morphed into LGBTQ, and then they create their own flag.
People can have debates about whether or not Gays and Lesbians are born that way or not. But the fact is, there are plenty of Gays and Lesbians who do not wear their sexuality on their sleeve and lead quiet and productive lives. Many of them have long term partners.
The Gay Rights movement was not created to serve these people, but merely to use them as pawns, as part of an incrementalist long game to pervert future generations of hetrosexuals.
I tell my Gay friends that I am anti LGBTQ, not because of the LG, but because of the BTQ. And that as far as I’m concerned, the rainbow flag is the flag of pure evil, on a par with the ISIS flag.
“Kalchik led seven parishioners in a prayer of exorcism Friday, and the flag was burned inside a portable fire pit.”
Bravissimo. And that’s how to properly destroy wicked stuff, such as ouiji boards, tarot cards, and other cursed items. Throwing that stuff in the trash does not fix any harm from the curses. Payers and a portable fire pit is the proper way.
This guy should be Pope.
I was celibate for a time, but I never would associate myself with such an affiliation that pretty much glorifies promiscuous sexual activity.
Yeah, I hear it only wanted to partner with other flags rather than it’s natural compliment, the flagpole.
That is so insulting to Yetis.
The RCC is just like the government. It has been in liberal hands for quite some time now. The real Catholics will have to take it back. If you submit to the “leaders”, you have already given up the church to heretics. It’s that serious. It’s time to demand that they give chapter and verse for their dogma. There are demons in the highest levels of the church if this priest is applauded for taking a stand. It’s sorta like giving accolades for a teen returning a wallet with money still in it. What was he expected to do? A priest should do what’s right no matter what the higher ups say. If the cardinal wants to defend keeping the flag, I would pay to hear that claptrap. This has been going on for decades now. Pelosi says abortion is not settled in the RCC, yet gets sacraments? Kerry votes abortion and other things, and gets sacraments. Kennedy’s kill women, divorce, drunkenness, mob connections, and they are celebrated and supported in Massachusetts? There are hundreds more examples that go back a hundred years. This sodomy “scandal” has been known about and supported for at least 70-80 years. If the church goes along with the fleshly culture, it has ceased to be the church. There are at least cardinals involved and likely a pope now trying to keep status quo. The status cannot stay “quo”.
