"In all his activity a man is bound to follow his conscience in order that he may come to God, the end and purpose of life. It follows that he is not to be forced to act in a manner contrary to his conscience. Nor, on the other hand, is he to be restrained from acting in accordance with his conscience,especially in matters religious".
This goes so far as to say a man can reject any policy that, in his own opinion, violates his conscience. There is no way military leadership can accept such a policy.
Well, they have to. There is a tradition of conscientious objection. Anyway, the church allows refusal so any Chaplin that refuses to accept that refusal is absolutely wrong. Shame on them, shame on the military for not respecting individual religious beliefs. And shame on soldiers for surrendering their religious beliefs to the military and compromised chaplains.
