• "Some of the recent attacks on Martin, sparked by his book Building a Bridge, have been inexcusably ugly....The perceived ambiguities in some of Fr. Martin’s views on sexuality have created much of the apprehension and criticism surrounding his book. There’s nothing vindictive in respectfully but firmly challenging those inadequacies. Doing less would violate both justice and charity" (Archbishop Chaput, 9/21/17)
