Technically, it is not ARCHBISHOP CHAPUT speaking, but CITIZEN CHAPUT and AUTHOR CHAPUT speaking.

From the letter Little Murders:

Of course, these are simply my personal views as an author and private citizen.

Admittedly, this is buried towards the end of the letter. He is stating these are his personal views, and he feels he needs to make these statements as a private citizen and as the author of the book Render Unto Caesar: Serving the Nation by Living Our Catholic Beliefs in Political Life.

But it is important to state that Charles J. Chaput, OFMcap, is not speaking for the Archdiocese of Denver.

There may be threats to the Archdiocese of Denver because of this letter... That is why I am downplaying the title Archbishop...

That is the point I am tyring to make.
