Are there any negative predictions about Obamao which have not come true yet? Maybe gulags? Family death camps for Christians?

I pray they defy Obama.
Arresting them will look extremely bad for Obama.

This is a religious issue.
Priests have a duty to say Mass and perform the Sacraments.

Suppose someone were to be seriously ill, would they arrest a Priest for giving Extreme Unction?

If I were a Priest I would just have to let them arrest men and show what real fools they are.

And since non-priests are forbidden from practicing Christianity at all, this pretty much puts God in the dog house, so to speak. You’d think Democrats would want to shut government down permanently, in that case.

Any Priest/Minister who violates the Prophet Obonghole’s edict and gets arrested will have done a huge service for God and for our Country as the people cannot possible sit idle in the face of such tyranny.

It is doubtful even his propaganda machine in the MSM could possibly spike such a story.

This could put us back on the track of limited government that the founders created for us. Please someone challenge the boy president.

WOW!

It's like an early 1950’s black and white civics class film on Communism that seemed silly because you figured that it would never come close to happening in the USA.

The way the government hates the spirit and all the values those who fought in WWII, it's a wonder the Leftists weren't shooting at the 80 year old war heroes when they went to visit their own monument.

The best thing to do in order to grow and strengthen a religion is to persecute its members.

Shutdown Impacts Chapel Services

By John Schlageter

If the government shutdown continues through the weekend, there will be no Catholic priest to celebrate Mass this Sunday in the chapels at some U.S. military installations where non-active-duty priests serve as government contractors.

Military personnel enjoy, like all Americans, the First Amendment guarantee of the “Free Exercise” of their particular religious faith. But because military personnel are considered a “captive audience,” the laws of our country require the government to provide access to that faith. This is why we have a military chaplaincy. This all becomes very clear when one thinks of a military family stationed in Bahrain or Japan. They cannot walk down the street to the local synagogue, church, mosque, etc.

There is a chronic shortage of active duty Catholic chaplains. While roughly 25% of the military is Catholic, Catholic priests make up only about 8% of the chaplain corps. That means approximately 275,000 men and women in uniform, and their families, are served by only 234 active-duty priests. The temporary solution to this shortage is to provide GS and contract priests. These men are employed by the government to ensure that a priest is available when an active duty Catholic Chaplain is not present. With the government shutdown, many GS and contract priests who minister to Catholics on military bases worldwide are not permitted to work – not even to volunteer. During the shutdown, it is illegal for them to minister on base and they risk being arrested if they attempt to do so.

As an example, if a Catholic family has a Baptism scheduled this weekend at an Air Force base that is staffed by a GS or contract priest, unless they can locate a priest who is not a GS or contract priest, the Baptism is most likely cancelled. If you are a Catholic stationed in Japan or Korea and are served by a Contract or GS priest, unless you speak Korean or Japanese and can find a church nearby, then you have no choice but to go without Mass this weekend. Until the Federal Government resumes normal operations, or an exemption is granted to contract or GS priests, Catholic services are indefinitely suspended at many of those worldwide installations served by contract and GS priests.

At a time when the military is considering alternative sources of funding for sporting events at the service academies, no one seems to be looking for funding to ensure the Free Exercise rights of Catholics in uniform. Why not?
