Sweeping claims flood Chaput's 'Strange Land'

Sweeping claims flood Chaput's 'Strange Land': Book Review: Archbishop Charles Chaput's new book, Strangers in a Strange Land: Living the Catholic Faith in a Post-Christian World, is strange indeed  —  full of relentlessly pessimistic, sweeping claims.

MGB:_The title is disrespectful to Robert Heinlein, who published a book by that name and who would not approve of anything said in this volume. I will take MSW’s advice and ignore the book, as if there was ever a chance I would read it anyway. If the Archbishop ever wanted to convince anyone that he should not be a Cardinal, this does it. Of course, he may be playing a long game and hoping that Francis will be done soon and will be replaced by a fellow Trad. I don’t see it. I suspect he is writing against the long ago debunked Americanist heresy, which is not about culture at all but about adapting doctrine to the circumstances of democracy. That does not seem a bad idea, especially if that includes electing bishops. Chaput would have had no chance. He may have decided this is as far as he goes, so like Burke is letting his freak flag fly. Someone in his curia should have stopped him, but he is as out of control as Trump.
