You were an Army chaplain?

20+ years and a retireee.

It might surprise you that all chaplains are not Roman Catholic.

AND it might surprise you that every chaplain was required to faithfully represent their own denomination, while willingly COORDINATING religious support for those not of their own denomination. (In other words, I'd get with my buddy the priest to handle catholic issues that came up. He'd get with me to handle protestant issues that came up...and especially methodist ones.)

No it wouldn’t surprise me. (Are claiming omniscience since you suggest that you know more than I?) I have a pretty good idea of what army chaplains do since I had colleagues who were chaplains in various services and did a funeral at the Weymouth (sp? - it was in 1974) Air Station myself in coordination with a chaplain there.
