The
Inquirer says that Archbishop Chaput is a “warrior-bishop.” CatholicCulture.org more
reasonably says "he has been both energetic and effective in giving a
public voice to Church teaching on contentious issues."
If the Conference for Pastoral Planning and Council
Development had been around when James Hitchcock was writing The Decline and
Fall of Radical Catholicism and Msgr. Kelly was writing The Battle for the
American Church, it would have gotten a chapter in each book. Yet here we are in
Philadelphia, Archbishop Chaput is our bishop and planners from the conference
close schools, give every impression that they're going to be reorganizing the
parishes next and, in general, are turning the diocese upside down.
