He sure is obsessed with Catholics, but people have always been trying to mind our business. Fortunately (as one who has served), the overwhelming majority of Army chaplains are not similar bigots, in case anyone gets the wrong idea when he identifies himself as one.
Actually, HS, making it personal injures your argument.
You can read through all these threads, and you can find only where I've said that the RCC is a fellow Christian denomination. You can also find where I've disputed different doctrines that they teach.
So far as my military career is concerned, I served my country faithfully for over 20 years. I counseled the living, prayed for the injured, and honored the dead. Many were of no faith group; many were of unusual groups; many were of evangelical groups; many were of historic Protestant groups; many were of other historic Christian groups; and many were Catholic. Not once was I ever accused of proselytism, because not once did I ever engage in it. That is far more than I can say for many on this board.
The need to proselytize is the true test of those who accept others' denominations as truly of the Father.
But, I did stand beside injured Catholics and, because Catholic priests were NOT available, guide them in Catholic prayers printed by their own priests. I did conduct memorial services for their dead. And I did honor and care for their families.
You have no idea what a right shoulder patch really means.
