Catholic chaplains have served the spiritual needs of the men and women in uniform since 1917.

Catholic Ping

Actually this weekend, I heard that military chaplains began serving the troops in 1775.

This issue was addressed by the Catholic Chaplains at the Serra Club Conference that I attended this weekend.

I heard the Archbishop speak and got to talk with him privately too.

He IS a memember of the USCCB, poor guy!

Have there been any updates on this issue since it was originally reported in June?

So what happens when a gay man or woman serving his or her country seeks guidance from a priest? Does the priest withhold a blessing? Would the priest have freedom to espouse the Catholic teaching that homosexuality is “objectively disordered?”

I know the answer to this one and I am not even Catholic.

Seeking guidance or asking for a blessing is not and has never been an issue. If requested, the Catholic Chaplain is obviously going to do whatever he can to provide guidance to the gay service member, including prayer and blessings (as appropriate).

However, what he is not going to do is violate the beliefs he has sworn to protect and uphold by delivering sacraments to those who are not qualified to receive them.

One has to ask this question:

Is this an unintended consequence of having a Black Theology President or is it an actual attack on Catholicism.

We know that Obama is an anti-Semite, he hates Jews, is he also anti-Catholic, or is he as I suspect a Muslim.

Is he also bi-sexual in his personal preferences and is that the reason he has pushed the Homosexual Agenda.

There are many questions, but I believe the outcome is that Priests and Preachers and Rabbi’s of Faith who refuse to marry same sex perverts will eventually be banned from the military.

Many men will go off to battle without the brave Chaplains to administer the “last Rites” or Communion on the Battlefield

This will add to the reasons why many men will refuse to serve their Country and their God for the United States.

Unintended Consequences or part of the Devil’s plan to deny eligion in our country brought on by an anti-Christ .

“Catholic chaplains must show compassion for persons with a homosexual orientation but can never condone — even silently — homosexual behavior,” Broglio said.

According to sodomites and their Sodomite-in-Chief, “gay” is now the new black, equivalent in every way to race, and therefore, any disparaging word against homosexuality will be construed as tantamount to KKK-racism against blacks. How long does anyone think a chaplain is going to last in that environment?

The cleric on the left is not Abp. Broglio. It is the Holy Father's personal secretary, Msgr. Gaenswein.

The Senate Armed Services Committee voted 16-12 to repeal the policy on March 27. So did the House of Representatives 234-194

Therein lies the problem, Salvation. Notice that the Republican controlled House caved on this...the voted FOR repeal of DADT.

This should tell us that there are a large number of so-called "fiscal" conservatives in the House. IOW, they believe in anything goes so long as you balance your checkbook. They are a blight on this nation, and they are PROOF that no matter who wins the presidency, we are going to get same-old-same-old.

If the Pentagon and the white house had done a proper investigation into this insane policy there would be no conflict but of course we know this was done, rushed through and then will be used to overthrow DOMA.

This out of anything should be dealt with as soon as we take power and remove this insane policy of allowing homosexuals to serve openly
