He was pro-life under JPII and BXVI.
He has said some weird things over the years. He wrote a column several years ago in which he blamed the LAITY for the fact that the Democrat party went pro-abortion. He said that the laity were to blame because they left the party!
NOT ONE WORD about the bishops’ total failure to address the problem of pro-abortion Catholic politicians. No. The LAITY were 100% to blame.
Although he has not let it pop out too often, it is clear that he thinks Catholics really have NO BUSINESS joining the Republican Party or voting Republican.
I think he is angling for a red hat, and slandering Trump as the moral equal of Hillary is the way he chose.
I’m sorry to hear that. Chaput is wrong, of course. I left the Democrat Party in 1996 precisely because I felt unwelcome as a pro-life Catholic. I still can’t believe how many Kerry and Obama bumper stickers I’d see in the church parking lot on the cars of supposedly “devout” Catholics. I wanted to confront them but stopped myself because, as dutiful Catholics, we’re supposed to pray for them to have a change of heart instead. Hogwash! That’s why we’re in this mess now!
