A long interview with Archbishop Chaput

John Allen has a (characteristically) helpful and revealing interview with Philadelphia's new archbishop, Arbp. Charles Chaput.  And, the folks at First Things have done a great job collecting a dozen-or-so essays he's done for that journal.  Readers might also want to take a look at Arbp. Chaput's book, "Render Unto Caesar:  Serving the Nation by Living Our Catholic Beliefs in Political Life," which was thoughtfully reviewed by Fr. Robert Imbelli, here.

The Church in Philadelphia is facing real challenges, to put it mildly, and so I would hope that all Catholics would pray for that great city's new Archbishop.
