Chaput's smaller, holier, more faithful to the message church is one bound to the truth according to him and his ilk, no one else.  His irrelevance knows no boundaries, and yes, he is a good man as the author suggests.  Yet he does not even care one whit about his judgmental nature shining through in all of his comments (even his crassly inconsistent ones) about those who do not see the world from the Chaputian point of view.  He subscribes to the "church militant" mentality that leads to single-issue politics and a complete loss of the message of the Sermon on the Mount.  But let's not dismiss him completely.  Let's invite him to the table and ask him to celebrate the Eucharist with us, asking God's blessing on this Church we all struggle to serve.  If grace wins every time, and I believe it does, who knows what blessings could ensue?
