ANN ARBOR, MI, October 15, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A Catholic priest in Georgia has filed a lawsuit after he was barred from even volunteering to offer Mass at Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base.
Father Ray Leonard, who is contracted to serve as base chaplain, and Fred Naylor, one of Father Leonard’s parishioners and a retired veteran with over 22 years of service, launched the suit Monday in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.
I know of no current President?
There is a usurper and a pretender. A _resident of the White House.
No commander in chief. Not since #43
Did Barry leave the Protestant chaplains alone so the Christians would do some infighting and the Catholic chaplins would feel even more isolated and mistreated ???
Lemme guess, he’ll have “no standing.”
By not allowing the Priest inside, the government has seized the Tabernacle with the Eucharist inside.
“Maybe our president is more communist and atheist than he is muslim...”
I have been saying that for years. There is zero evidence of Obama worshipping anything other than himself and socialist idealogy.
I’m sure that causes great consternation to the bassturd in the White Hut.
By not allowing the Priest inside, the government has seized the Tabernacle with the Eucharist inside.The Presence vs Obama: think that would sell a few tickets?
According to the Thomas More Law Center (TMLC), a national public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, MI, only Catholic Masses have been banned at the Georgia Naval Base. Protestant services have continued. They say Father Leonard was told if he said Mass in violation of the order he could be subject to arrest.

It does seem to be a tactic to isolate one group and attempt to pit us against each other, doesn’t it?
This issue applies to all of us who value religious freedom, not only Catholics.
It’s time for us to focus on the values we share and put our differences on a back burner.
Making this fight which is common to all Christian a “caucus” thread is insulting.
It’s working like a charm on the other thread. Anti-Catholic bigotry in all its fundamentalist glory.
Salvation knows who I am talking about, as well as others.
I will Freep mail who that is.
Priest sues Obama Admin: No Mass allowed on Naval Base, Church locked
I have been told by other Catholics on Freerepublic to try to use Catholic Caucus when possible because of Catholic bashing
There are plenty of Catholic forums for you to discuss Catholic matters. Why use a general discussion forum like FR if you don’t want general comments?
Additionally, the Catholic priest is being represented by a Catholic/pro-life law firm (Saint Thomas More).
It is very Catholic, but it does involve the military and the Obama administration.
It is something that directly affects the Catholic Church -- Catholics being denied access to a Catholic Church and to Catholic services.
It also could have been posted on the News forum...
But it gets down to the fact that some freepers will bash the Catholic Church.
It gets down to the fact that we see post that we can’t comment on.
What if you saw a post titled “You’re stupid if you worship Mary” AND you couldn’t comment on it.
