Another sad news ping.
If only they were so forceful and aggressive in dealing with the perverts who have infested the church. Imagine the beacon the church would become if he showed up and forcibly ejected a pervert right in front of everyone.
Why doesn’t the fag rainbow have a brown stripe for identification purposes?
Cupich is a jerk and the priest was treated coldly and unkindly. However! The Cardinal Arch told the priest not to burn the flag, in very clear terms. The priest chose to disobey his bishop, on Church property, an act of defiance in which he also included others. All this in a statement about gays, which only raised anger and controversy. He put his ego before his duty and rightly will reap the consequences.
May God guard and protect Fr. Kalchik!
We begin to see the priorities of the church laid bare. Sex with minors = covered up, hidden, preists relocated and even promoted. Raiding your voice against this scandal = threatened with arrest and removed from service.
Out of respect for the ecclesial offices of the Church, we should probably refer to Mr. Cupich as Mr. Cupich, Mr. Montalbano as Mr. Montalbano and reserve the dignified titles for men of God.
Chicago Parish Cuts Up, Burns Rainbow Flag
Longtime parishioners and deacons have given accounts of the gay Masses that were held in the basement of the rectory, and the wild all-male parties in the parish house. The real story of Fr. Montalbano's death in 1997, at the age of only 50, is too sordid to be detailed on paper. In cleaning out the rectory, many things, including vestments that were used in the hidden Masses, were taken to Fr. Paul's family farm and burned there.
