Chaput has taken Ritter on as far as the abortion issue is concerned.

He didn't do anything about a mass said in his diocese specifically arranged for Gov. Ritter for his inauguration.

Even though,

"In Thursday's State of the State message, Ritter, a lifelong Catholic and former missionary, pledged to restore funding for family planning and pregnancy prevention[birth control]. He also said during the campaign that he wouldn't seek to overturn abortion laws and voiced support for same- sex unions. All are policies that run against church teachings."

But . . . but . . . Ritter said that he was "pro-life"?

And Archbishop Chaput has publicly denounced the governor's position and explained how it is not compatible with the Catholic Faith.
