If you read Chaput’s article—and previous articles—what you pick up is that he fully realizes how evil the Democrat platform is. AMONG BISHOPS, Chaput is considered a rabid pro-lifer.
BUT, like most bishops, Chaput IS a Democrat. (No matter how much he trumpets that he’s a registered Independent.) He sees voting for a Republican as such a monstrous evil that it isn’t justified, no matter how evil the Democrats are.
Thus, Chaput counsels doing nothing to prevent Hillary’s election. This is known as “remaining pure.”
The hierarchy in this country is clearly demoralized. In fact, I would guess they were demoralized even earlier through the successful effort by the Soviets to infiltrate then run our seminaries.
Throw them all out.
