text: For all his criticism of President Obama, Archbishop Chaput has offered precious little criticism of his successor. He did go on record saying this, however:
  
  “It’s just amazing to me how hostile the press is to everything that the president does,” the archbishop said. “I don’t want to be partisan in my comments here, but it seems to me if we really are serious about our common responsibilities as citizens, we support the president whether we accept everything he stands for or not and wish him success rather than trying to undermine him.”
  
  One is left with the impression that Archbishop Chaput thinks Donald Trump is doing just fine. That tells me all I need to know about Archbishop Chaput and his abilities (or lack thereof) to assess other people's character. If and when he finally levels real criticism against Trump of the sort that he routinely leveled against President Obama I'll change my tune. But so far that hasn't happened. Sometimes silence is golden - except when it's not.
