Former Navy Chaplain says government threating chaplains with “treason”
A former Navy chaplain who was drummed out of the military for ending his prayers “in Jesus’ name” has said the Obama administration is now attempting to silence chaplains who speak out on doctrinal matters relating to their church’s teachings on abortion and contraception.
Last week the Obama Administration told Army chaplains they should not follow the direction of their bishop and read a letter from the Catholic Church declaring their opposition to Obamacare requirements they provide abortion inducing drugs as part of their health care coverage. The Army said their opposition to reading the letter was a phrase declaring the law to be unjust might incite mutiny and rebellion by Catholic soldiers. Gordon Klingenschmitt, a former Navy Chaplain who was dismissed from the service for refusing orders from commanders to not pray “in Jesus’ name” during public services said it is incredible that chaplains are being told not to obey their church.
“’The secretary of the Army said you have to line out some of the language, or else we’re going to charge the chaplains with sedition and treason for opposing the Obama administration,’ he reports. ‘Can you believe this? They are actually threatening chaplains with court-martial if they dare to preach against sin in their own church.’”
