Military Priests Face Arrest for Celebrating Mass in Defiance of Shutdown
Our government is out of control.
First, it was the World War II veterans who had to break down barriers to see the open air, un-attended memorial erected in their honor. A memorial which is on public land but is supported – including the National Park Service fee – with private funds. This week there was more security surrounding this memorial — just to keep elderly veterans out — than there was at our embassy in Benghazi the night it was attacked.
And for what? To inflict as much pain as possible through this government shutdown. It’s called Washington Monument Syndrome, and it’s pure political theater.
But now there’s a story just coming to light that takes things even further. According the Archdiocese for Military Services, GS and contract priests (who are paid by the federal government as independent contractors in places where there aren’t enough active-duty priests to meet the needs of Catholics in military service) are being forbidden from celebrating Mass, even on a volunteer basis.
If they violate this restriction, they face possible arrest. FOR CELEBRATING MASS. SOURCE
If I hadn’t read this story, from a reputable source, I don’t think I would have believed it.
I am no particular fan of the Catholic Church but in this time of governmental despair I would think that a Catholic Priest would celebrate Mass simply because it’s the right thing to do. Under the Obama regime, maybe not.
I have seen this line all over the place today, Angry Park Ranger Admits They Were Told To “Make Life As Difficult For People As We Can”, and again, if I hadn’t seen it, from so many reputable sources, blogs and pages, I would doubt its truthfulness too.

Someone please tell me that there is NOT an open and aggressive assault against Christians and American Patriots being waged. Tell me once again just how much that despicable SOB, Barack Hussein Obama loves America. C’mon, give it the old *Libtard try*, and make it a good one.
Tell me how much Obama and the Democrats LOVE the U.S. military too while you’re at it.

Remember this line; “To inflict as much pain as possible through this government shutdown” because it speaks volumes about Obama, the Democrats and everything they hate about America.
Maybe this shutdown and the silliness of Obama and the Dems concerning the shutdown and their actions during the shutdown will finally open the eyes of those that think the Obama response to Benghazi was appropriate.
So, enjoy this cartoon, I found it to be appropriate too.
It’s never a good idea to pick a fight with God. Obama will pay dearly for his hubris.
You are exactly right, Alan. Obama is a lot of things, and believes he is even more than he is, but one thing he is not, is above God. He will reap what he is sowing.
That is sick Fred, really sick. What the hell is wrong with these people. They call good bad and bad good and it is - do as I say, not as I do. I am fed up with all the crap going on because of “Hussein” and his cronies. They are a bunch of sickos. Hell they make PINKO LOOK TAME! I have never heard of such absurdity but he will have to account to God for all the polluted minds he has created and the damage he has done to the United States.
Now messing with military priests? HEH! I bet Fred if they were gay they would get a “FREE PASS!” arggggggggggg!
I had the occasion to listen to NPR on the way from work this evening and the commentators on the show really had a dim view of the Republicans. I suppose that is to be expected, but they really believe the Republicans have no strategy and are destroying their party.
I am no political expert, but I have to disagree with that sentiment. I have yet to talk to a single person that does not support this shutdown. And the rhetoric being used by Obama and his liberal buddies, both on Capitol Hill and in the media, is showing them to be the partisan hacks they really are. I really believe this is going to blow up in their face and come back to bite them in 2014.
As if we ned more proof that Obama is a Muslim and hates Christians. In addition he is arming those in Syria who are killing Christians. Will the stupid half of our country’s population ever finally figure him out?
Off topic, but I have to make this comment. Are all the scandals involving this administration already forgotten? Obamacare, the government shutdown, and the debt ceiling are the only topics lately. God forbid he should get off Scott free from the scandals.
Remember the remark made by that pillar of honesty, Rahm Emanuel, ” Don’t ever let a crisis go to waste” Well, here we are folks! We are stuck with this corrupt President and administration until the Republicans take over the Senate in 2014. Both Houses of Congress need to get a set of b***s and impeach Obama, but then that would leave us with Biden and he is a bigger buffoon than Obama. That leaves us with the only option which is to impeach both of them!
In response to your emailed question, they have declared war on all gods but allah as every true muslim should
Obama wants to inflict as much pain upon the American People in order to stir anger against Republicans. How many get hurt in the process is irrelevant to him as Harry Reid made that well known when asked about saving one kid with cancer. In this case, he’s punishing the military. Military voters voted 3 to 1 against Obama. He’s not respected by military personnel and has an immense disdain for those serving in the military. What better way to punish the military than to forbid their civilian Christian ministers from ministering to them on a volunteer basis. But, you can bet if these were Muslims, they would be permitted.
So now I ask this: what measures should the American people use, to what lengths do we go, to get that SOB out of office?
Congress and the Senate are as useless as Obama himself so we KNOW there will be no support from that quarter…
wes I find it hard to believe that constitutional and liberty loving Americans haven’t marched armed and in sufficent numbers to remove these pieces of s-t from the White House, congress and senate. I hope I live long enough to see someone capable of organising and conducting an action of this nature do it. I would love to take part.
So, what’s next? I think obama should close ALL federal highways too. After all, how can they give CPR to anyone who has a heart attack while driving?
I can understand closing manned buildings, etc. But to spend way more money and effort to shut down an open aired place is simply obama having a tantrum. Why did they shut down certain federal websites and web cams, but obamacare website is still open. I bet the obama donation website is still active as well.
I really REALLY hope this nonsense continues in the tiniest of hopes that obama-bots and other low info voters see just how piddly this moran and his ilk truly are….but I doubt it.
This country is so divided and our political system is so screwed up to the point that laws are not obeyed by our supposed betters and our checks and balances no longer work. We really need a reset and a divorce.
An all liberal/progressive populated society could never support itself and would collapse and fail in no time. Whereas, an all conservative society could take care of itself quite well. I understand we need a two party system in order to keep either side from become too powerful. As the saying goes, power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. But it appears that one side has learned to rig the system so that they have just a little too much power and is abusing that to take out the opposing party in the hope of gaining a single party run country. That is dangerous.
All I can do, is wait for obama to retire, or something, and a true leader takes over. What truly scares me is that obama will screw up this country to the point it will take decades to undue, and even then, not really…and that is IF we are lucky. The conspiracy theorist in me is screaming that obama is going to try and pull a dictator move and declare himself chancellor for life…which we all know how that turns out.
I just hope I am paranoid and for no good reason, and all is just in my head. However, being a slight history buff, I can’t help but feel less than hopeful when it comes to obama and friends.
It is time to storm the Bastille. Once again we need to saddle up and pay D.C. A visit.
The Military Chaplins MUST defy the worthless POS Obama.
Interesting isn’t it???
The liberal progressive/communist traitors like Piglosi, Oblowme and Harry Greed won’t hesitate for one second to use the lying and inflammatory words such as “Jihadist, Terrorists, Arsonists, and Bombs strapped to their chests” to describe the Conservative Republicans who are using the political process within the confines of US Constitution to defund some of their pet sacred cows.
While these liberal progressive/communist traitors, will take every precaution to avoid using these very same words to describe genuine Islamic terrorists such as the Fort Hood Shooter, the Tsarnaev bombers, The Muslim Brotherhood, and CAIR.
And the national state controlled media lapdogs fall right in line with such duplicity.
