Chaput: Bishops Must Speak United on Politicians, Abortion

Washington, DC -- When Catholic politicians push for abortion without impunity, Catholic faithful are often left wondering why Church leaders don't do more to bring up their actions as out of step with Catholic teachings. One leading bishop is explaining why.

Sadly he said nothing, beyond lamenting his delima. Can’t be to hard on the powerful and rich, else they might not be generous.

Chaput is certainly a “take-no-prisoners” “tell it like it is” bishop, “fer sure” and “you betcha”. But he’s probably too ornery and outspoken to be considered “papabile”.

You need to read up on Charles Chaput who is a Capuchin Franciscan. He is the most outspoken Catholic Bishop in the US. Most of the USCCB Bishops live in fear of his pronouncements. The Denver Archdiocese is the most vibrant diocese in the US since he took it over.

ROTFL! You think liberal Democrat Catholics are generous with their own money?

but there’s just an inability among the bishops together to speak clearly on this matter and even to say that if you’re Catholic and you’re pro-choice, you can’t receive holy Communion,”

The Bishop also needs to adopt the tactics of the enemy when it comes to language use, its not 'pro-choice' your eminence, call it what it is, pro baby murder, or at the very least call it pro-abortion, do not validate their indefensible arguments by using their language... the baby had no CHOICE in its murder!
