Archbishop Chaput’s Weekly Column: C. S. Lewis with a Microphone
As with any other family, life in a local Church goes on, even after a wonderful visit from the Pope and an important world synod of bishops. For most Catholics, faith is learned and lived at the parish level.
Columna del Arzobispo Chaput: C. S. Lewis Con Un Micrófono
Como con cualquier otra familia, la vida en una Iglesia local continúa, incluso después de una maravillosa visita del papa y un importante sínodo mundial de obispos. Para la mayoría de los católicos, la fe es aprendida y vivida en el ámbito parroquial.
Archbishop Chaput’s Weekly Column: As the Synod Closes, the Road Ahead
In less than a week I’ll be home in Philadelphia and hopefully – finally – back to the normal life of a great diocese. I use that word “great” deliberately. What makes Philadelphia unique is not its legacy, or industries, or universities, or cultural centers. All these things are important, but they’re just words until we remember the people who give them life.
Columna del Arzobispo Chaput: Al Cerrar el Sínodo, el Camino a Seguir
En menos de una semana estaré en casa en Filadelfia y espero –finalmente– de regreso a la vida normal de una gran diócesis; uso deliberadamente la palabra «gran». Lo que hace único a Filadelfia no es su legado, o industrias o universidades o centros culturales. Todas estas cosas son importantes, pero son sólo palabras hasta que recordamos a las personas que les dan vida.

Archbishop Chaput’s Weekly Column: Mercy, Truth and Belonging to Jesus Christ
The Church can be truthful without being merciful. But she can’t be merciful without being truthful.
Columna del Arzobispo Chaput: Misericordia, Verdad y la Pertenencia a Jesucristo
A medida que el Sínodo de los Obispos sobre la Familia cierra su segunda semana en un enjambre de atención de los medios de comunicación y algunas interpretaciones muy diferentes, podría ser un buen momento para recordar un punto simple.

Archbishop Chaput’s Weekly Column: The Opening of the Synod
On Sunday evening, September 27, the Holy Father left Philadelphia for Rome after a hugely successful visit to Cuba and the United States. Four days later – barely time to breathe – I headed to Rome as a delegate to the 2015 Synod of Bishops on the Family.
