Former Philadelphia archbishop praises AG Barr: 'He's disliked by all the right people
That is an interesting way to put it.
The archbishop emeritus of Philadelphia on Monday heaped praise on Attorney General William P. Barr, saying the nation’s top law enforcement officer embodies his Catholic faith.
Archbishop Charles J. Chaput hailed Mr. Barr, a Catholic, as a man of faith who can help the church meet the challenges it faces in an increasingly secular society.
“Throughout my life, the men and women I’ve most admired have all had the same qualities: a thinking Catholic brain, a character of substance and a moral spine. Attorney General Barr has all three,” Archbishop Chaput wrote.
“As an added bonus, he’s disliked by all the right people.” he continued. “I want to thank the various and interesting critics of General Barr for confirming me in that judgment.”
Archbishop Chaput also hailed Mr. Barr’s speech last October at the University of Notre Dame where the attorney general blasted efforts to replace traditional Judeo-Christian morals with “secularism” and “moral relativism.”
