You said "that's not what I said." Hardly an "exposure." Furthermore, you objected to me saying that you thought Chaput wasn't really pro-life. What you cannot deny is that you said this: "At worst, he’s simply parroting the Republican platform. Either way, his “leave it up to the states” approach undermines authentic Catholic teaching on killing innocent life." Sounds like you accused a bishop of cooperating with evil. Any more exposing you'd like to do? “exposed?” You said “that’s not what I said.” Hardly an “exposure.”

I exposed that lie of yours on your blog. Remember? Denton – That’s certainly what you accused MM and I of doing, but that’s not what we, in fact, did. I exposed that lie of yours on your blog.

That's funny; I seem to remember you accusing Archbishop Chaput of doing just that in respect to letting abortion go to the states. MM:
