The Catholic Archdiocese for the Military Services is accusing
Walter Reed National Military Medical Center of denying Catholic
service members and veterans their right to practice their
religion after it canceled a contract for pastoral care and
issued a "cease and desist" order to a community of Catholic
priests just days before Holy Week.
The Catholic archdiocese says in a statement that Walter Reed
issued the order against Holy Name College Friary, a Franciscan
community of priests and brothers that has served at the center
for nearly 20 years.
Instead, it says the contract for Catholic Pastoral Care was
terminated at the end of March, just as Holy Week was about
to begin. Walter Reed replaced the contract with a secular
defense contracting firm that the archdiocese says will not
be able to provide the adequate care needed.

Ok, WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE ???
Sounds like MAJOR religious discrimination/suppression
WAY out of 1st-amendment bounds.
No, I personally am not religious. However I stick
to the small-'L' libertarian principles of the Founders
here. People ardently believe in all sorts of weird
things - so you can't cut the HRCC out of the picture
in any gov-run institution.
This is BAD, this is WRONG, this is INTOLERABLE,
this is CRUEL, this is ILLEGAL.
And the Wokies behind it - roast 'em. The Law
is on YOUR side.
Hey look Believers ... do you just Give In to this
kind of BS or do you FIGHT for what you truly
believe ? Give an inch, lose a mile. That's how
it always works.
