Perhaps he needs to confess his sin of Lawlessness and repent and turn away from public sin. NAsbU Matthew 7:23 "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.' Maybe brother Chaput needs to apologize to Americans for promoting and encouraging Lawlessness.
