Protestant leaders to Cardinal Cupich: Condemn priest who burned rainbow flag (Chicago)
Chicago Sun Times ^ | September 25, 2018 | Michael Sneed

Posted on 09/25/2018 6:52:08 AM PDT by Salman

Sneed has learned more than 175 members of the Protestant faith and clerical community have sent a letter to Cardinal Blase Cupich Tuesday morning asking the diocese to more strongly reject the recent burning of the LGTBQ-friendly flag by an Avondale priest.

The rainbow-colored flag which featured a cross was ceremoniously lit on fire behind the Resurrection Catholic Church by Rev. Paul Kalchik earlier this month in what the priest dubbed an “exorcism.”

“We write to request a full investigation of these actions and for full transparency from the diocese concerning Father Kalchik” and his future with the church, the letter states. Kalchik burned the flag even though the archdiocese instructed him not to.

Aside from the obvious comments about the "gay" issue, I find it interesting that Protestant leaders think they can make demands of a Roman Catholic Cardinal.

Perhaps they are confident of being obeyed?

“...strongly reject the recent burning of the LGTBQ-friendly flag ...”

This Protestant applauds the priest who burned the LGTBQ flag. That flag is the devils handiwork.

Any “Protestant” leader who would condemn this is neither. There are apostate pretenders on this side of the Tiber, too. Shun them, we do.

Condemn him? It would be more appropriate to elevate him to Pope and ride Frankie out of the Vatican on a rail.

Vile homosexuals have permeated the Catholic Church and will never willingly or gracefully release their perverted grip. It is their goal to change church teaching and doctrine to be consistent with hedonistic practices that are now common in western societies. The Protestants ought to be amused. That priest burning the gay flag is akin to Luthier posting his 95 objections. Cupich and Pope “who am I to judge Francis will do nothing to purge the cancerous homosexuals from the Church.

“..Sneed has learned..”

I suspect this is fake news designed to cause turmoil - satan’s main weapon.

#1 They are identified as leaders AND people of faith - so not all "leaders"
#2 He was not disrespecting different peoples but instead their ideology
#3 If they are Bible scholars they may want to re-visit the story between Elijah and four hundred and fifty Baal priests before choosing sides.

He deserves a promotion , if nothing else, for showing courage in a corrupt world.

Does this Priest think he can practice his spiritual beliefs as he sees fit? Just who does he think he is? Conform or be punished!

I keep hoping that a bit of empathy for Martin Luther may eventually arise. He didn’t set out to leave the Roman Catholic Church. He sought to reform it. Leaving was not his choice, either.

I saw a rainbow on the way to work this morning. It reminded me of God’s promise. It disappoints me that evil has confiscated this symbol too.

Scripture says there must be a great falling away before Christ comes. We are seeing it now.

"Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, . ." 2 Thess 2

I am Protestant and commend the priest for torching the fag flag as well.

“Protestant” began in no small part because of a desire to conform to the Scripture rather than to traditions and abuses of men ... people who blatantly toss Scripture aside to approve of homosexuality or homosexual pride can call themselves whatever they want — Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox — but they are in danger of being in a Romans 1:18-32 state ... not nearly as much in “danger” of being found to be any sort of blood bought Saints.

The Gaystapo is in too many places, spring up like noxious weeds, they are ideologically aggressive with their apostasy, and they are in desperate need of repentance ... the exact opposite of “pride”.

From the article: “We believe Rev. Kalchik is endangering the LGBTQIA+ people with hatred and violence using his authority as a Catholic priest when he burned that rainbow colored flag for the reasons he asserted,” said Mack.

First, this Rev. Lindsay Mack is a pastor in the ELCA, a very liberal church. Second, anyone who would actually write "LGBTQIA+" in a letter, with zero sense of irony or humor, has his head so far up the as* of left-wing culture that he should never be listened to on any subject.

And third, that "rainbow flag" had a CROSS on it, pastor. Do you not have the sense to know you don't do that?

Yes.

I recall that once it was not uncommon to hear the opinion that the Antichrist being homosexual on account of Daniel 11:37.

The view seemed to fall out of favor about the time homosexuals managed to convince people that they just wanted to be left alone and they weren’t interested in changing marriage or making everyone accept their choices ... yeah, like anyone should have ever believed THAT line!

Anyhoo, nowadays I’m leaning towards an explanation of the MotB that what John originally wrote down wasn’t Greek letters but something in a script he didn’t know that looked like Greek letters. It seems that, when combined with the image of the crossed swords the Arabic script for “in Allah’s name” looks just like what appears in older texts.

Discounting the falling away proper, Islam is certainly the preeminent expression of the spirit of Antichrist that we are seeing today.

What’s interesting to me is that since the idea of abrogation is built into Islam when their new great leader so many seem to be expecting appears he would have authority to give a “new revelation” and could politically reform homosexuality to help gain power from the Romans 1:18-32 reprobates in the West who would be unlikely to go along unless they could bring their poofters with them.
