LGBT flag once hung over sanctuary of gay parish, displayed at Cdl. Bernardin's Mass
Parishioners of Resurrection Parish in Chicago, Illinois, held a rainbow flag-burning event last week, cutting up and setting on fire an LGBT flag that once hung in the sanctuary at the parish's first Mass. The event was originally scheduled for Sept. 29, the Feast of St. Michael and the Archangels, but the Chicago archdiocese heeding complaints by gay activists called the pastor, Fr. Paul John Kalchik, and ordered him not to hold the event. A handful of parishioners took things into their own hands and decided they would burn the flag themselves.
Kalchik is a victim of homosexual rape and abuse, once at the age of 11 and again at age 19. He has been pastor of Resurrection Parish for 11 years. He issued a heartfelt plea to Pope Francis in an open letter calling for an end to clerical cover-up. His strongly worded articles and homilies calling for reform in the Church, in particular denouncing the homosexual predation of clerics, has drawn down the ire of Cdl. Blase Cupich and the Chicago archdiocese, who have threatened to remove his priestly faculties and derail his priestly career.
Here, one parishioner explains the significance of the rainbow flag burned at the parish, which used to hang in the sanctuary, including at the 1991 inaugural Mass presided over by Cdl. Joseph Bernardin.
The Burning of the Banner
It is important to understand why the rainbow cross banner that hung in Resurrection Church when it was formed in 1991 has been burned. This was no regular rainbow flag, but a banner merging the Cross with the rainbow. It was not innocent. It was a signal that this parish would be the new "gay" parish, as Fr. Daniel.....

Sorry Sarge, that there would be called a hate crime, and then “THEY” would be justified to destroy you and your family, you might get lucky and be sent to a reeducation camp, but not likely. Sarc on.
A ‘Gay Parish’? Not far off from the abomination of desolation spoken of when the anti-Christ defiles the temple
Cutting up and burning the fag flag? I love it!
Death is better solution. And if I did what these animals did, I’d deserve death too. Mercy was for the kids.
Hurrah, Fr. Paul John Kalchik and his parish!
It’s NOT a rainbow flag. It’s a 6-stripe abomination indicator.
I’ve kind of always wondered how liberals would react if you burned a rainbow flag, a UN flag, and a US flag all in one very public event. That would probably make their tiny, pointy little heads spin, I bet.
We who are entangled in sin's webs, though, we need not death before repentance. We need scissors to cut the sticky webs, we need the long humility of begging passers-by to pray for us.
That goes, too, for those Sons of Belial and Daughters of Moloch who bring their infernal sacraments, sodomy and child-murder, right into the Church. May God cast them down from their seats of power. May God crush their teeth and stop up their mouths. But then let them feel their hearts break within them, and let them not die until they repent.
Please stop calling it "pedophilia"....it isn't. It is homosexuality. We don't need political correctness here.
That works, too.

I’m confused. The picture has a rainbow with seven colors.
