Priest Who Wants Gays Killed: I’m Hiding After Death Threats by LGBTQ+ Activists
When asked about his views toward homosexuality, Kalchik was unequivocal, saying he’s “quite literal” when it comes to what the Bible says in Leviticus, Corinthians and Ephesians. Leviticus 20:13, according to the King James Bible, states: “If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: They shall surely be put to death.”

S E E D E D   C O N T E N T



You may remember the priest who burned a rainbow flag after saying gay people should be put to death, and that he was then removed as head of his church . Now, he says he’s been driven into hiding thanks to “homosexualists” who have threatened him.

In his first interview since the controversial flag burning, Rev. Paul Kalchik said he has been sent off the grid not by his own hateful actions but by the evil gay people who want him dead. I mean, do they even know what it feels like for someone to say they hope you are put to death?! (Wait…)

Additionally, the priest says he went into hiding out of fear of being “arrested” on the orders of the Cardinal who warned him not to carry out the burning. But he also told a friendly “reporter” that he was fearing for his life after receiving death threats, and that he had no knowledge of his removal from the Church.

Kalchik added that, if police had come to arrest him at the parish, he isn’t sure what would have happened because he had volunteer policemen protecting him from “rabid homosexualists”.

Kalchik, a priest who once led Resurrection Parish in Chicago, told the website Church Militant that he wasn’t officially told not to burn the rainbow flag (although he definitely was). He also said he thought he’d be sent to a mental institution .


In the interview, Kalchik told the website that he was initially told he would be sent to St. Luke’s Institute, a psychiatric center in Maryland that focuses on mental health care for priests .

Kalchik has led the Resurrection Parish congregation for the past 11 years, but he was removed from the position after his church went ahead with plans to burn a pride flag that he called an “ over-the-top sacrilegious depiction of our Lord’s passion .”

The pastor was told not to destroy the flag, but insists that he never received verbal instructions not to do so .

“Cardinal (Blasé) Cupich doesn’t operate in a written format,” he said. “ Nobody said to not destroy it .”

Kalchik is blatantly lying here. He was told not to destroy the flag by the Archdiocese. He did it anyway. He also performed an exorcism on the fabric, implying homosexuality was the result of demonic possession.

It’s also worth noting the irony of how Kalchik sees himself as the victim given that he’s argued that the punishment for homosexuality should be death :


When asked about his views toward homosexuality, Kalchik was unequivocal, saying he’s “quite literal” when it comes to what the Bible says in Leviticus, Corinthians and Ephesians . Leviticus 20:13, according to the King James Bible, states: “If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: They shall surely be put to death .”

What he did was ridiculous and just a means to grab attention while demeaning some of the most vulnerable members of our society. I hope he comes out of hiding soon. Maybe then he can listen to the concerns people have about his actions and understand why they sent such an awful message.

God (aka Mr. Infallible) finally realized how badly he fucked up when he recklessly instructed humans to be fruitful and multiply.  He saw that our population growth became untenable for the planet, and countered it by making more of the kinds of humans that don’t accidentally get pregnant.  Problem is that he already claimed to be infallible, therefore his faithful flock of lemmings cannot accept his new discreet plan.  He already told them to hate queers, so goddamit that’s what they’re gonna do.

"Don't touch me, you're not my priest?"

While a joke, it does capture something that many people refuse to acknowledge. The fact is a child is far more likely to be sexually assaulted/raped by someone they know, family, friend, neighbor, priest, coach etc., than they are by a stranger. So all those ad campaigns of the decades past of "Don't talk to strangers" was well intentioned, but should have focused on a different target. It should have been the "Don't trust anyone, stay in groups/crowds, don't ever let your guard down and always tell your parents everything" campaign.

He sounds more than a bit unhinged.  He's afraid he'll be arrested?  For what?  So far as I can tell, he's done nothing illegal.  Shitty, yes.  Illegal, no.

And the death threats - well, those shouldn't happen.  Of course, he shouldn't be calling for anybody else's death, either.  I'm betting that if he had never called for anyone's death, nobody would be threatening his.  But then he couldn't play the "poor, persecuted me" card.

I have no sympathy whatsoever for bigots who whine when they're treated the same way they've treated the people they hate.   If he's done nothing "illegal" then neither have those who want to treat him the exact same way.

I hated when the priest would bless everyone with holy water from his scepter.  The smell of religious incense on high holy day was almost gag inducing. A 90-minute mass would have been so much better if someone had replaced the incense with a bit of marijuana in the incense burner.

I did have all sound reduction windows and doors installed (the ones when I bought the house needed it anyway) this way I really can Jam out with the music I like to play with at the volume I need to match it as I play along on my drums. Its like playing with the band, I love it. 

The reduction is actually so good I can jam out 24 hours of the day without bothering my neighbors as long as I don't get carried away. That's nice, I used to need to stop at 10 PM or chance pissin someone off.

Why is it that religious people always have to have someone to go after. If it isn't burning witches at the stake, it is gay people should not live.

It is like they always need a nemesis/scapegoat in order to make themselves relevant. Or someone to lord over to make themselves feel better.

Sad and pathetic really.

Religious always need to feel persecuted for their beliefs or to have people who are a threat that must be eliminated.

Epistte in 13.1.2 very wisely mentioned that Pat Robertson also believed Kalchik's assertions.

This is very heavy weight as far as confirmations of evil.  After all, it was Robertson who deftly inquired from one of his aides on his TV show as to whether, "Mac & Cheese was a Black thing."  This preponderance of intellect must not be ignored.
