"Detailed analysis of the Chaplain Corps' management shows the faith group clusters (FGC) system hides the Navy's denominational preferences and prejudice," the motion said. "Theologically more conservative denominations have been treated prejudicially when compared with those of more liberal beliefs within the FGCs."

Maybe the more conservative denominations don't do as well because they are more vocal in preaching The Gospel.

ABSOLUTELY INDEED.

OF COURSE!

Christian Evangelicals—particularly those who believe in:

1. this era as the END TIMES;
2. BIBLICAL PROPHECY having specific tangible implications for our era;

3. The literal THE RAPTURE and THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST as real and distinct events on the not distant horizon;

4. The fallen angels playing a part in THE BIBLICALLY WARNED ABOUT “GREAT DECEPTION” . . . (THE GREAT DECEPTION which the MSM is trying hard to facilitate and deceptively strengthen—too often with supposedly Christian conservative help);

5. IN MODERN DAY MIRACLES OF GOD
6. in valid Holy Spirit fostered dreams, visions and prophecies for our time in specific terms;

7. The Resurrection;
8. Literal weighted Biblical interpretation;

9. . . .

. . . . are to be considered terrorists instead of candidates for promostion . . . according to the Marxist globalist oligarchy so increasingly in !!!CONTROL!!! As Scripture warns us about.

There is no doubt in my mind that chaplain promotion boards are slanted.

They admit it. In the instructions to the board, they tell them things that they are permitted to consider beyond simple fitness. My memory says those things can include: gender, ethnicity, high need denomination or religious practice.

Correct me, litekeeper, if my memory is faulty.

The most common denomination is Catholic. The ratio of Catholic chaplains to Catholic troops is much worse (far lower) than the ratio of Southern Baptist chaplains to Southern Baptist troops.

How should the US military chaplaincy deal with that imbalance? On the battlefield when a Catholic troop is dying or is in need of communion, if you were that troop’s parent, who would you want ministering to him, if at all possible? Same situation, use Southern Baptist; and etc.

....statistical analysis shows that the Naval Chaplain Corps consistently demonstrates a preference for Catholics first and liturgical Protestants second. Each group typically receives a third of promotions, with non-liturgicals and special faith groups receiving the remaining third, the motion said.

"Detailed analysis of the Chaplain Corps' management shows the faith group clusters (FGC) system hides the Navy's denominational preferences and prejudice," the motion said. "Theologically more conservative denominations have been treated prejudicially when compared with those of more liberal beliefs within the FGCs."

As an example, it cites Romans Catholics receiving promotions more than 93 percent of the time from 1985-2000. Members of three other liturgical groups earned promotions 81 to 86 percent of the time from 1985-2000, much higher rates than Southern Baptists and other evangelicals.

Ping for later
