Chicago priest who burned gay flag removed from Avondale parish
Father Paul Kalchik
CHICAGO -- A Chicago priest who burned a gay flag has been removed from his parish in Avondale.
Cardinal Blase Cupich had warned Father Paul Kalchik not to burn the flag.
He did it anyway, and recited a prayer of exorcism.
The Archdiocese released a letter saying that "Father Kalchik needs to take time away from the parish to receive pastoral support."
