NAVAL CHAPLAIN FILES FORMAL COMPLAINT OVER CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION
breitbart ^ | june 11, 2015 | austin ruse

Posted on 06/13/2015 9:15:39 PM PDT by lowbridge

Chaplain Wes Modder spends his days basically alone in the base chapel. He is no longer allowed into his office. By order of his commanding officer, he is not allowed even to speak to the sailors in his unit. If anyone from his unit comes into the chapel, he may not speak with them.

His commanding officer, Captain Jon Fahs, has taken this unusual step because of complaints lodged against Modder by a handful of sailors who claim he is “unable to function in a pluralistic and diverse Navy.” Modder ran into the buzzsaw of political correctness related to human sexuality.

Fahs requested various actions against Modder, including taking him off the promotions list, separating him for cause, and initiating a board of inquiry. None of that has happened yet and, in the meantime, Modder sits alone unable to help his fellow sailors.

Modder was not even allowed to minister to his unit personnel after a recent suicide in the unit.

Modder and his lawyers at the Liberty Institute have taken the highly unusual step of filing a complaint against his commanding officer. According to Modder’s lawyer Mike Berry, it is almost unprecedented for a subordinate officer to file such a complaint.

-snip

The Article 138 complaint would force his commanding officer to let Modder do his job and to do it in line with his endorsing denomination.

Modder’s Article 138 complaint will go to Admiral John Richardson, Director for Naval Reactors, who is also President Obama’s nomination for Chief of Naval Operations and a seat on the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

-snip

Modder is the victim of what amounts to a modern-day witch-hunt whereby gays in the military work to harm others who might adhere to traditional Christian views on human sexuality and marriage.

We have now moved over into the territory of the prince of the air and we as a people will be taken out by the Holy One for walking away from the tenants He set forth and as were adapted by the Founding Fathers of America

Sounds like the complaint will be DOA.

I wonder how this Captain Jon Fahs got where he is. Because he earned his rank, or because he happens to share the current administration’s political views?

it’s maddening how fast this has all happened. just 25 years ago, this would all have been dismissed with a laugh as impossible. and yet in just a single generation, the labors of the cultural marxists have gone from still unthinkable to completely acceptable by more than 50% of the population.

this is not the country my ancestors fought to create anymore. the RINOs and GOP have gone “full Quisling” in aiding and abetting this destruction.

my username was chosen for a reason. it’s how i feel about what is happening all around me.

Those who swore to uphold the Constitution may, God willing, be tried, convicted and, depending, be incarcerated or given the death penalty.

Starting with Pelosi, who certified Obama in the first place.

Christians should not serve in the military. They should all resign en masse. It’s obvious they’re not wanted.

And where are all the Christian preachers in this nation? Why are they not yelling from the pulpits about this injustice? I guess we know which god they’ve chosen to serve.

Pretty much anything with brass worth anything at all either left or was purged.

My kid left a year ago. Her fellows mostly told her she would regret it and she was throwing her career away. Most of them have since called her asking for guidance on transitioning out.

She was enlisted. Imagine what the Officer side looks like.

Obviously the gays will form cliques and force everyone else out. Morale will be destroyed.

Already have. Already is.

From what I hear it’s a lot worse in there than even we imagine. The gay legion is already turning on their marginal supporters. It is a complete replay of the Nazi SS taking the German Army.

>> . . . from the tenants tenets He set forth . . . <<

(No offense intended--just helping a bit. Tenants are those occupying rental property. A tenet is a doctrine, principle, or position held as part of a philosophy, religion, or field of endeavor.)

We have too thank both parties Hoiuse and Senate, every POTUS since 1989, all Secretaries of Defense since 1989, the SECNAV's and CNO's since then as well as C.O.S.'s are too blame. All of whom were either too busy serving the interest of contractors or pushing their liberal agenda upon the troops. As a result we have Gays running the military unchecked, we had Murtha and others doing hunts and persecution of troops in combat. Now that has been extended to persecutions for not pandering to the Gay Mafia. Since January 1989 we have had no military minded leadership making policy. None Nada!

They one and all with their own agendas have destroyed the Reagan Legacy Military. They wasted no a day after he left office to begin that process. Their god is obtaining more powers & their agenda is the destruction of this nation.

Oh no... Get out there and vote for lesser evils no matter what. We can hold their feet to the fire later.

The voters are the people responsible for this. They elected the people helping Barry finish off America.

Its why they told everyone the lie that to have a good job everyone has to go to college. They completed effing up a lot of people’s heads in college. The tenured socialist bastards corrupted enough people.

They formerly chanted for their right to exist, then to just live peaceably. Now they are purging out and being able to legally destroy opposition.
