I can't imagine how Abp Chaput could see the emails by John Podesta or Jennifer Palmieri as anti-Catholic. He must know that Podesta was referring to a bipartisan effort by Catholics about 10 years ago, not to some plot by the campaign and or Democrats. Has he even read the emails? Or is he just repeating the uneducated assessment of the comments? It is weird to hear him attacking Catholics, specific Catholics, without understanding what has been said.

I'd be interested in hearing him compare the two vice presidential candidates. Both were baptized as Catholics. Which would Chaput prefer, the pious Catholic or the exCatholic who agrees with him?
