See nothing, judge everyone, act ridiculously

MGB: Chaput is right about the lack of credibility, given the public image on pedophilia, but he does not want to get down to reasons why because it is filled with unrealized asexuals who don't know the mess they have made of sexual morality or their tendency to act from bad sexual formation. The requirement to try dating first is simply confirmation of how screwed up they are, as asexuals do not do such relationships well.

Chaput does not want to go because he knows he is part of the anti-Francis minority. He does not want to be the cat at a rocking chair convention or the patient committed to the mental ward of the field hospital of Francis' Church. 

The theologian not mentioned wants the Church to make its morality by tautology, not reality. He is part of a dying breed. Let them die.  Tbhy have nothing to teach in their Scholasticism, which is immune to new information.  I is also oblivious to the asexual problem infecting doctrine. There is Truth, but the Church needs to realize it does not possess it in its entirety. To say otherwise is hubris of the worst order. In truth, the Will is the desire for Good and is informed by the Intellect - which is the brain, like it or not and he does not like it (it could not be a she). Insisting the Church has all the truth is simply another form of relativism. Truth is universal, not particular to the Pope.  Christian joy is not smug loyalty, it is trust in God, including as found in discordant voices.

Luck for us, Chaput is gone from ministry in a year and because he is not a cardinal, and never will be, he will be retired.  May God give us Francis for a much longer time.
