“What man among you having a hundred sheep and losing one of them would not leave the ninety-nine in the desert and go after the lost one until he finds it?"  (Luke 15:4)

“Or what woman having ten coins and losing one would not light a lamp and sweep the house, searching carefully until she finds it?"  (Luke 15:8)

Apparently chasing after the wandering, looking for the lost, is exactly what Jesus would do, and would have us do.

Archbishop Chaput (R-PA), like several of his brothers in the National Conference of Republican Bishops (the shrinking cadre of 'culture warrior' bishops), makes an occasional foray into partisan politics.  It's embarrassing for him and for the church when he does; I hope there are priests and people in his diocese who are telling him so emphatically and effectively.  The attempt to sanitize a vote for the racist, misogynistic, fascist nominee of the Republican Party is especially repugnant.  One might even say that it's deplorable.
