On Thursday I wrote of the situation concerning Father Paul Kalchik, a faithful priest in the Archcioese of Chicago. I suggested action in that post. If you haven't done so, I suggest you do it now, but first read this important update.
From One Peter Five we read that Father Kalchik was preparing to celebrate a wedding when Auxiliary Bishop Mark Bartosic barged in unannounced as Kalchik was vesting for the wedding. Bartosic told Kalchik he had minutes to vacate the parish or else he'd be arrested for "trespassing". Kalchik did so. Bartosic was at least good enough to celebrate the wedding and not leave the couple high and dry.
Kalchik left with his brother who was visiting him. At least we know he is safe for now. The other day two representatives, Father Jeremy Thomas and Msgr Dennis Lyle (the latter played a role in ousting Fr Frank Phillips, the faithful pastor of St John Cantius) told Kalchik not only to vacate, but to "commit himself to psychiatric confinement". In other words, he was to submit to brainwashing. Addendum: In the course of that conversation, Kalchik told the two vicars that he was needed in the parish to say morning Mass. They replied, "what would happen if you were dead"? In other words, they threatened his life!
Mahound's Paradise gives us more history behind the gay flag and how it stemmed from the perversions of the previous pastor, who was a flaming gay. Be warned, some of that history is rather gruesome.
I now link to Resurrection's bulletin for this weekend. Therein Father Kalchik gave his account of the flag-burning. I downloaded it and suggest you do the same, for the archdiocese will undoubtedly take it offline.
PLEASE TAKE ACTION - If anyone contents themselves with prayer but refuses to take action, such prayer is useless. Call Cupich's office (again, for some) at 1-312-534-8200 and rebuke him for his ouster of Kalchik and his demand that Kalchik submit to draconian brainwashing. Call that same number, search for Bartosic's and Lyle's names and offer them some stern rebukes. You may have to leave voicemails, but that's ok. Leave messages on Resurrection's site. Those of you in the Chicago archdiocese should announce immediately your financial boycotts until Cupich apologizes to Kalchik (and Father Phillips, for that matter) and cleans up his act.

I'm all in and going to sites right now to voice my 'displeasure'. This imposter Cardinal is a THUG, and no more a true Catholic Cardinal than I am. The 2 henchmen that came for a 'visit' with Fr. on Friday also pretty much threatened his life. I am so thankful that Fr. had the foresight to insist on witnesses to be with him during the 'visit'. What they report is really beyond the pale. Crude and vulgar insults and even threatening him. I hope ALL of the parishioners at Resurrection Parish go to other Catholic Masses in their area today and don't even step foot inside the Church, and if the Bishop is saying Mass that he has NO ONE in the pews. It's time (way past time) for the laity to rise up and fight with every weapon we have at our disposal. Time for us to 'take off the gloves' as they say.

As a Catholic, I'd like to know who put that flag up to begin with. That flag is defiling the Holy Church and therefor defiling the BRIDE ! God bless Father Kalchik for standing up against evil, and pray for both He and the Church. Of course homosexuals are welcome, but acting on their sins is NOT ! There must be a willingness to change or be abstinent! As Saint Paul and others clearly stated, that perverse behavior is a sin and also those who condone it. Those who show approval of homosexuality share the same sin as those who commit it. Save the Rock ! God bless you all.
ReplyDeleteI think if you follow the links, you'll get the history of that flag, and it goes back to Bernardin himmself.
DeleteGestapo techniques! Cupich will burn in hell for these actions!
ReplyDeleteCupich will never change. He is likely a homo himself. After all, "Uncle Ted" endorsed him!
ReplyDeleteEven if he doesn't, that doesn't relieve us of the moral obligation to try and act.
DeleteYou are so right! I left a voicemail yesterday, for what it's worth! God save our Church.
DeleteWe always assume someone else will do it, and then no one does.
ReplyDeleteI am not Catholic but I completely support Father Kalchik and his actions. The gay flag, LGBT agenda and any symbol of it have no place whatsoever in the church. How is it that protesters can march, boycott, organize mob action and riot in the streets and yet this priest is denied his voice? Cupich has it backwards. Father Kalchik doesn't need mental health intervention except that it may help him cope with the public humiliation of having been removed from his parish. The Bible says that in the last days, right will be wrong and wrong will be right - a perfect example. The agenda doesn't care what God thinks and they wave their flag right in His face.
