Home > Chaplain Tappman

Chaplain Albert T. Tappman (A.T. Tappman) (usually simply refered to as "The Chaplain") is one of the main characters in Joseph Heller's novel Catch-22. A naive Anabaptist minister, Chaplain Tappman is tormented by his assistant, Corporal Whitcomb. He is the only character in the book Yossarian truly trusts.

Interestingly, this was not his original name. In the original version of the book, Chaplain Tappman was called "R. O. Shipman", and this was changed by about the third edition (possibly some name conflict with a politician or personality name).

Many of the C.I.D. men that have been dispatched to his squadron are convinced that he has been intercepting Major Major Major Major's mail and signing them Washington Irving.
