The gloves are off now---Chaput in Denver-
Lunch crowd challenges Chaput Catholic leader fields politics, sex and abortion questions after speech

"Why do (religions) feel they have to impose their views on us?" asked one woman during a spirited question-and-answer session following Chaput's speech to the City Club of Denver. "If we don't - you'll impose your views on us," Chaput shot back to murmurs from the group of about 120 business and civic leaders."

"For religious believers not to advance their convictions about public morality in public debate is not an example of tolerance - it's a lack of courage," Chaput said in his prepared remarks.
