I would like to blame that on un-smart phones.
That's the Hacker way, but hey! It's helping to bring up my post average and total.
It's all good.

Has to have been.

Chicago has many fine old churches that were never Catholic at all. I do not know the specific history of this one but in this city it could have been anything. Traditional city church architecture thrived here up through the mid 20th century.

Ok here is a bit of history on the building that Freddy is using for the ecclesia he is pastoring.
Here are some quotes on Polish History in Chicago.
http://pgsa.org/research-directory/archdiocese-of-chicago-polish-parishes/st-salomea-church-history/
"Under Father Jagielski?s leadership, construction began on a new church at the southwest corner of 118th and Indiana Ave. Before the edifice was completed, he was transferred to another parish. Father Jagielski later served as pastor of St. Francis of Assisi Church on the northwest side of Chicago.
In March 1912, Rev. John M. Lange was named pastor. Prior to this appointment, he had been pastor of Holy Rosary Church in North Chicago, IL. Father Lange supervised the completion of St. Salomea Church and the magnificent Gothic edifice was dedicated on May 30, 1913. At the time, the parish numbered 500 families as well as 500 single persons. Active parish societies included St. Stanislaus Kostka, St. Salomea, St. Adalbert, Uhlans, John Sobieski, St. Joseph, and the Rosary Ladies."
So it was started as Catholic for Polish speaking people.
In July 1990, Salem Baptist Church purchased properties located at 11800 South Indiana, which included a church auditorium, school, parsonage and convent.
In 2005, Salem moved to the House of Hope, a 10,000 seat arena built the same year. Salem currently has over 20,000 members.

So the building at 118th and Indiana sat empty until it was offered to Freddy.
Pastor Meeks was very gracious in facilitating the move into the building that had been vacant for about 10 years. It came with everything in it just as it was when they moved out. Freddy's group is renting the building including all furnishings. That explains the antique video display behind the pulpit.
Here is a video by a member of the Catholic Church when it met in the building.

This one gives you a little feel for the area.
