I based my views on an incorrect premise derived from the error in the Gibson article reprinted here at NCR. 

And I agree, there is a major difference between an invitation to speak, albeit an honor in and of itself,  and the awarding of an honorary degree. Ergo, since the archbishop did not suggest any honor be attendant to his suggested Trump invitation, I apologize to him. 

If it was solely the honorary degree--not the invitation to be the commencement speaker--that so upset Chaput about the Obama appearance, I have no problem with his current stance.
