I am not a Catholic, but have enormous respect for Chaput. People pay attention when he speaks, as they should; he's a real asset to our community.

IMHO Salazar is making a number of rookie mistakes. Not surprising considering the only office he had been elected to before was Attorney General, and here those are low-profile Marquis of Queensbury rules elections. He really wasn't tested as A.G., either. He seems to have a very short fuse, which almost always causes bad things to happen to pols.

Glad to hear that assessment. We like him - we're hoping that in a few years he'll be elevated to an even larger diocese, hopefully LA.

Is there other evidence of this?
