Chaput - Pro-life Ping!
I remember when Archbishop Charles Chaput came to Denver there were several articles in the Denver papers touting his Indian roots. I wonder what he thinks of Ward Churchill.
I really admire Archbishop Chaput. The pre-election interview he did with the New York Times (the actual interview, not the version that got printed) was just brilliant. When you look at these sad characters they've made bishops (like the one who's president of the USCCB right now), Chaput stands out even more. Perhaps he will be the one to bring the American Church up from the ruins.
As soon as NARAL, PFAW, Planned Parenthood and all the other nonprofits pay taxes, I would guess.
Heckuva guy!!! I wish all Christian leaders were as bright and forceful.
Gotta love Arch Chaput. Thanks for the ping.
Hope so.
He's awesome!
Yeehaaaaa! Go Charlie, Go Charlie...!
He is one of several who have gained prominence in the 'anti-catholic' MSM. The ranks are growing and their voices are being heard. Keep all of the bishops in your prayers. God knows, they need them!
What a gutsy, intelligent guy...You know, it amazes me how stupid the "pro-choice" movement is...can you imagine if someone said, "if you're so concerned about those 6 million Jews that are in Hitler's empire,you take care of them otherwise, shut up"....
I had the pleasure of being in the Cathedral last weekend as he welcomed hundreds of people into the Church and Catholic instructions. I am sponsoring my future daughter-in-law and she went up and met the Archbishop. She said he is very kind and has the brightest blue eyes, she felt very honored to meet him but he assured her that it was his honor to meet her. Made her feel very comfortable, the Archbishop is one of the few who said he would deny communion to politicians who supported abortion, John Kerry was the person he spoke about.
Congratulations to you and your future daughter in law. May God shed His blessings on you both. What a beautiful Easter for the entire family. My prayers for all of you.
Bishop Odo of Bayeux (note the club to avoid the effusion of blood)
Thomas Hatfield, bishop of Durham, who fought at Crecy (1346)
Leonidas Polk (all right, all right, he was a schismatic . . . in more ways than one . . . ;-) )
They are vacuum cleaners for money: they suck up tax dollars into their organizations.
Planned Parenthood is one of the prime benefactors of donations to the United Way. Remember to kill babies [the United Way!] [Oops, since I am a newbie, I had better put /sarcasm on]
And you should. He put out a commentary on Million Dollar Baby about 5 days before the oscars.
A friend of Francis Maier pointed out that Archbishop Chaput had written it [I was voicing concerns about the film and the impact on the Terri Schiavo situation].
But it does not pay to be too close to Archbishop Chaput -- look what happened to his poor Auxiliary Bishop Gomez. They stole him not to make him a Bishp, but an Archbishop over 1/2 of Texas. Archbishop Gomez of San Antonio has had a good mentor: Archbishop Chaput of Denver. Both are important seminaries to run. The San Antonio Seminary is one of the few bilingual seminaries -- Spanish speaking seminarians are educated there.
Also Archbishop Gomez is a member of Opus Dei; Archbishop Chaput is a Capuchin like Padre Pio.
gos bless Bishop Chaput.
Thanks for the ping!
