Father Ray Leonard, the Catholic Navy Chaplain who sued the Department of Defense and the Navy after he was barred from celebrating Mass at Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base in Georgia during the recent the Government shutdown, is now the target of Government retaliation even though the Department of Justice indicated the day after the lawsuit was filed that he could resume his duties as a Navy Chaplain.
The retaliation involves repeated Government assertions that the employment contract under which Father Leonard was working is no longer “valid”, demands that he must sign a new contract containing several pages of onerous new terms if he wants to be paid and refusals to pay for services he had already performed.
As a result, the Thomas More Law Center (“TMLC”), a national public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, MI, on January 6, 2014 filed an amended complaint in their original federal lawsuit to prevent further retaliation against Father Leonard for exercising his constitutional rights. The amended complaint added a claim against the government for its retaliation toward Father Leonard which occurred after the filing of the initial complaint.

Voted for and WANTS. Just keep giving them free stuff.
The regime has declared war on AMERICA!
But Muslim prayers and rugs deemed okay?
The contrast could not be more obvious. God Bless this priest for saying Mass and for bringing suit. Christ teaches us that our way in an unbelieving world will not be easy, but on judgment day our Christian practice amongst hostility is something to be counted with satisfaction.
It’s just scary how the government is coming down on Christians and Jews in the military but gives a pass to Muslims.

IIRC, he was willing at the time of the shutdown to perform contract services for free. Do you remember that?
