I understand Archbishop Chaput's yearning for a better church.  Don't we all indeed yearn and hope for a better future?  I know I do.  And, when circumstances conspire to frustrate me and make my life less fulfilling, I tend to gripe and grouse (which is how I read the Archbishop's words).  But, shouldn't he know better that to gripe in such a public fashion?  Additionally, just how would one go about getting to that smaller, holier church?  An on-line test perhaps?  Or, an interview with the local Catholic police?  What would be the criteria?  If I disagreed with just one doctrine of the church, would that disqualify me from membership?  Or maybe two?  What exactly would the litmus test(s) be in the Archbishop's mind?   Would mass excommunications follow?  Would truly pious and qualified Catholics be issued a membership card?  This exercise of ruminating on the beauty of a smaller, holier church is fine if done in private.  But, as he conducted it I find it very disturbing.
