The Catholic Church is elite, but it must never become elitist. 

The Chaput cry for smaller and lighter implies there are "authentic" and "inauthentic" Catholics. Be careful. Very careful. There is a hint of McCarthyism in any plea that "you are not our loyal kind, so you must go."

Al Smith would be startled to see the anti-Catholic movement coming from within the Church itself: what this country needs is fewer Catholics!!!!!

History has show this to be immutable: the loyalty test you impose today will be used against you tomorrow, using your very own words. 

Be careful about declaring there are "our kind" of Catholics and that the others should leave the family. And be very, very careful about deciding who should make the decision.
