Priests threatened with arrest

Priests threatened with arrest for doing what GOD has called them to do.

In a stunning development, some military priests are facing arrest if they celebrate mass or practice their faith on military bases during the federal government shutdown.

“With the government shutdown, many [government service] and contract priests who minister to Catholics on military bases worldwide are not permitted to work – not even to volunteer,” wrote John Schlageter, the general counsel for the Archdiocese for the Military Services USA, in an op-ed this week. “During the shutdown, it is illegal for them to minister on base and they risk being arrested if they attempt to do so.”

According to its website, the Archdiocese for the Military Services “provides the Catholic Church’s full range of pastoral ministries and spiritual services to those in the United States Armed Forces.”

Remember when we had a bill of rights?

As a Catholic, are other Pastor's being targeted or is Comrade continuing his long assault on the Catholic faith? I'm guessing Comrade is continuing his long assault on the Catholic faith. This man is just despicable in every way possible.

From preventing troops over seas from watching football on AFN, denying the right of Catholic troops to celebrate our faith, to making homeowners leave their homes on federal ground, to shutting down open air memorials in DC, to blocking off roads preventing tourists from taking road side pictures of Mt. Rushmore and on and on and on.

This man is exposing his hatred for America, but yet his private golf course remains opened and an Iowa Congressman running for Harkin's senate seat because of the shutdown is complaining about the lack of towel service in the House gym.

Oh and a topic for another thread, the "We told you so" when it comes to monthly premiums that the steaming pile of manure known as Obamacare.
