Catholic military chaplains could soon become outlaws

That may be true. I wish i knew what Mr. holder had in mind other than mere group identity. If that is his meaning than he is no different than many white Southerners whose unofficial but real mantra was ‘the white boys all stick together’. Unfortunately I think the meaning is much more profound than just some jejune ethnic cliquishness. Most black people of Gen. Bostick’s generation had a pretty heavy dose of black church evangelical religion. Whatever messages of economic liberalism and state-ism these churches promulgated there was a lot of standard evangelical personal morality based on Biblical principles taught. Bostick specifically rejects these moral teachings in his abrasive dismissal of the profound ethical dilemma the official norming of homosexuality by the armed forces presents any serious Christian in uniform and more especially so those who are chaplains. that leads me back to the beginning. I fear ‘Holder's people’ are not just all people of color but only those who can only relate to statesim, moral relativism, and perpetual agitational anger. All of these things are implicit or explicit rejections of fundamental moral tenets of Christianity.

Thank you so much for sharing your insights, dear brother in Christ!

The future of the chaplaincy should this Obama term be replaced with another liberal?? I think the chaplaincy will be terminated as part of the military and replaced with psychology degreed political officers in each battalion, as was the old soviet army.

When my daughter recently faced the decision of whether to do the right thing even though it would likely result in her losing her job (which it did) and possibly her career - her response was "My God died for me, what's a job compared to that?"

I suspect many Christian Chaplains will have a similar "red sea moment" during the term of this presidency - and I pray their response will be like hers. Better to be a nomad in a wilderness following God's leading than to rest in a land controlled by people who do not care Who He IS or What He wants.

Better to be a nomad in a wilderness following God's leading than to rest in a land controlled by people who do not care Who He IS or What He wants.

Or worse, controlled people who are satanically adverse to God, who loathe Him and all His Works and seek to enslave His people.

These are trying times, testing times: Endure by faith in the Word of the Lord thy God and all will be well.
