The military, their families and retiree veterans, war veterans, who make the effort to get to Mass and to be with their community they depend on, know what’s going on.
Most of them are active at one point or another in the parish councils. The military archdiocese is a diocese with its head in D.C. These people not only serve on appropriations in their jobs and in the parish, but they know where the money comes from. They exact volunteers and priests and staff.
They know how much it costs to unlock the doors of the chapel and have a mass done by all volunteer, including the priest, and distribute wine, and how much petty cash to accept as donated for the Eucharist.
Not much.
They know that it costs the government more to prevent the Mass.
Bad business.
