Once in a while, the good Archbishop says something dopey, and this is one of those times. Really dopey. Chaput, tho he has a reputation as friendly to traditional Catholicism, sometimes exhibits a disconnect that is off-putting. Trump, for all his wealth, seems to actually understand the dynamics of working. And he has a long paper trail to review that supports that assertion - the values his children model, his search for excellence in his TV show, The Apprentice, etc. Clinton is merely an old, has-been career criminal.
Several years ago, Chaput wrote an article about who was to blame for the fact that the Democrat party became pro-abortion.
Did he assign any blame to the bishops, who for forty years have treated pro-abortion katholyk politicians as “Catholics in good standing,” giving them medals, various honors, Communion, etc.? Not on your life. He never mentioned the bishops at all.
Chaput put 100% of the blame on the laity—because, as the Democrats became pro-abortion, the Catholic laity left the party and became Republicans!
I have seen other articles by Chaput in which he wrote about some problems in the Church, and it was as if the bishops didn’t even exist!
