Having had an unfortunate letter writing relationship with Chaput, I can only concur with Winters' assessment of the man's thinking as expressed in this tome.  Try as I might not to attribute motivation, it is difficult not to view Chaput as one of the most negative humans of his ilk, totally incapable of seeing the disconnect in his remarks and statements.  

For example, he was furious that Notre Dame did not invite Trump to speak at their graduation saying that they passed on an opportunity for Trump to explain how his thinking on abortion has evolved.  Seriously?  And would that be followed by a talk on the sanctity of marriage from the thrice-married president?

His own guidelines for divorced and re-married Catholics, telling them they must abstain from sex prior to receiving communion, will forever stand as his personal monument to irrelevance.  Like his book, he is to be ignored.
