But the rank and file don’t look to Rome, they look to their priest/pastor. Such is as it has always been.
The big question is how far is the US Catholic church willing to press this. It very well could result in lossing all of their money.
My point is this: It will be good for some Catholic military chaplains who boldly defy orders that defy First Ámendment rights, but it will also be good to have Catholic military chaplains who stay and run an underground Truth ministry.
My point is also that in this day and age, the Catholic faithful who want the Truth can always find it, even if their commanders (or the stasi) try to keep it from them.
Unity under one earhtly pastor is a wondrous gift Christ gave us!
