John Allen Interviews Archbishop Chaput Regarding Catholic Voting Guides

Rich Leonardi has the details over at Ten Reasons:

National Catholic Reporter's John Allen has been blogging from the bishops' meeting for the past two days. In one of his posts for today, he interviews Denver archbishop Charles J. Chaput about a range of topics, including what is meant by "proportionate reasons," i.e., circumstances in which it would be appropriate to vote for pro-abortion politicians:

[I]t means a reason we could confidently explain to the Lord Jesus and the victims of abortion when we meet them at the end of our lives, and we will meet them. ... That’s the only criterion.

My Comments:
That definition of "proportionate reasons" might explain the Archbishop's recent remarks regarding his not being completely satisfied with the proposed new USCCB document on voting.
