Dearest Archbishop,
Like millions I look forward to your sermons and homilies on youtube. Its an excellent way to evangelize. This year there has been nothing. I looked for the Good Friday, Easter Sunday, Pentecost and Ascension sermons but there were none. I know that Catholic Philly uploaded these since 2009 and before and it is necessary for these to continue to reach the masses, the non-Catholics and the lapsed Catholics.
Top people at the Vatican in the Liturgy Congregation and elsewhere would also be monitoring these and this initiatives would put your Archdiocese in positive light worldwide.
God Bless you.

Tomorrow we start the Fortnight for Freedom. It’s a moment for each of us to be grateful to our bishops for doing the right thing–the important and urgent thing–at the right time……Bishop Chaput
As a life-long Philadelphian, I want to start the Fortnight for Freedom for all of the victims of clergy abuse and their families. Unfortunately and tragically, the evil and devastation of the sexual abuse of children will not allow any “freedom” in the lives of survivors as they struggle throughout their existence with the pain, despair, loneliness and depression.
Yes, many Philadelphia-area Catholics would like Bishop Chaput to do the right thing, the important and urgent thing, at the right time by supporting the important legislative proposals in Harrisburg that would help current survivors of child sexual abuse as well as those who will become victims in the future, regardless of where such criminal conduct should take place.
