– Some Catholic priests under contract or GS (general schedule) to the military are not allowed to offer the Catholic sacraments--including saying Mass, consecrating marriages, or performing baptisms--on military property during the government shutdown, and if they do, even on a volunteer basis, they risk being arrested, according to the general counsel for the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA.

The letter “P” is missing.
Sort of a “Choose this day whom you serve” moment, isn’t it...
As a Roman Catholic myself, I hope the chaplains cross the line and show the Sock Puppet who they serve.
Arresting a priest giving communion - great optics.
that’s cause their P’d off!
that’s cause they’re P’d off!
Be really fun to see Obama arrest a priest for doing his job. That’d be an awesome lesson to all of those Catholics who insist on voting Democrat that the Democrats are no friends to Catholics.
is this true for muslims too?
I wonder how pictures of priests being arrested for practicing their religion in the US of A would go over?
Reminds me of the hymn ‘Stand up, stand up for Jesus’. Regardless of religious aspect of this, if priests, vets, tourists to OUR parks (the gov’t is supposed to BE ‘we the people’, not some foreign entity or Obama’s private brown/green shirt army), visitors to our monuments, etc. don’t stand up to tyranny now, we’re done as anything other than a tinpot dictatorship.
I cant see how anyone could MISS where this directive came from.....after it emerged from the Pit of Hell that is...
Obama has just stretched the envelop a BIT too far!
“is this true for muslims too?”
Not a chance - not in obamaland.
Catholic Priests should be lining up to offer Sacraments - and to be arrested for it.
Besides being a true act of faith, it would make an excellent point as well about religious freedom.
I don’t know.
On the other thread about this, people are saying, hey, just go somewhere else, Just have Mass in the parking lot.
It’s not a concern.
It’s unbelievable.
They’d blame the priest for not bowing down.
Catholics who vote pro abortion don’t actually understand the tenets of either the Church, God’s Law, nor the value of religious freedom.
Heck, the USCCB is condoning Mexican immigrant priests’ and bishops’ publically advocating for Amnesty.
I am still trying to figure out how we the People/Peasants can be trespassing on public land that is ours bought & paid for. His Imperial PINO aches very much to give us our own “American Spring” complete with mowing down the citizenry like his comrade tyrants have done so violently in the past.
Do it anyway. How would it look if the regime started mass-arresting clergy, especially if they were being arrested for serving our troops?
Push may indeed come to shove in a place that is VERY problematic for the regime and in fact the whole stinking democrat party.
theyre playing a very risky game and this hand is going to cost them regardless of any arrests
The internet is still uncensored!!
