Archbishop Chaput’s Call

Archbishop Chaput’s book, Render Unto Ceasar, is a MUST READ! Here is a sample of this monumntal work:

“The Church claims no right to dominate the secular realm. But she has every right – in fact an obligation – to engage secular authority and to challenge those wielding it to live the demands of justice. In this sense, the Catholic Church cannot stay, has never stayed, and never will stay ‘out of politics.’ Politics involves the exercise of power. The use of power has moral content and human consequences. And the well-being and destiny of the human person is very much the concern, and the special competence, of the Christian community” (pp. 217-218).
