Good article over all. However, I have a few thoughts about this man - I wonder why C/Chaput became a priest. He doesn't appear to represent Jesus' ideals of reaching out and including people rather than treating them as outcasts for any infraction of the law. It seems you would not be welcome in his group if you didn't check off all the slots on the rigid rules and regulations sheet.  Chaput then would decide you shoud not be included as a member of his exclusive team - because he only wants the "smaller and holier" crowd. He seems to have an attitude problem when it comes to people using their intelligence to make the right decision for themselves rather than blindly obeying churchy directives.  Chaput comes across to me as someone devoid of passion or empathy for his 'flock' and would appear unapproachable if one needed help. Sounds like an unhappy person. Think he is in the wrong line of work.
