“Chaput is a theological lightweight to the Greek Orthodox!”

Indeed he is. Such a lightweight in fact that some of the EP’s theologians actually snicker when his name is mentioned, which in theological discussions with the likes of Cardinal Kaspar or the Pope is virtually never, I assure you.

Chaput’s problems are greater with the Vaticanistas, though, who allegedly feel that his sort needs slapping down, like they did with Martino.

One of the great concerns of Orthodox Christians from all over the world regarding a reunion with Rome is the extent to which politics has infected the (at least to our eyes) very powerful American Church. Your comment reinforces the notion that the American Church really is more about secular politics, whether of the left or the right, than about Christian theosis.
