While gay behavior seems to be the “excused sin” du jour, can these chaplains even say it’s a bad thing to cheat on your wife, lie on your taxes, or to rob a bank?

I get a sickening sense that it’s like almost anything goes (goes as in departs) at the behest of the Pentagon. They want dumbed down pseudo chaplains who are agnostic at best? Well that’s what they probably will get.

So begins the attempted destruction of our military.

Will this apply to Muslim “chaplains” or whatever they are called in the Army?

And what will happen to the Muslim chaplains?

They don’t approve of gays either.

I guess a lot of Catholic soldiers won’t be getting their last rights, before they die.

This needs to be fought in courts, but I think every Christian pastor in the service needs to be ready to cut ties with the army if the court fails to support the chaplain’s rights to live and preach their views.

Bible-believing pastors need to realize they will need to separate themselves from the army if this is upheld. Very sad but perhaps there is a purpose behind getting bible-believing leaders out of an organization heading south very, very fast.

Seems you have bought into the secular mindset.

A dear friend of min, an Italian immigrant, back in the early 70's surveyed the growth in America's Woman's Movement and said something I have never forgotten. Having studied the Ancient civilizations, he quickly pointed out that throughout history, each women rose to power, they were soon followed by an increased demand for a share of the limelight by homosexuals. Those societies collapsed not long afterwards. At the time, I laughed. Hey ... it was the early 70's and women were only asking for equal pay for the same work performed by men. I stopped laughing a decade ago as I watched his prediction become reality.

When society abandons the family, it is doomed.

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
Santayana

This sounds like state sponsorship of paticular religions.
Catholics, Evangelical Christians, and Jews are out. Metropolitan Community Church is in.

I’ve got a feeling the msm is on the lookout for the first openly gay military chaplain.

So, if a soldier confesses to a priest the commission of a homosexual act, the priest may not absolve the sin, because that would be tantamount to telling the penitent that he’d done something wrong?
