In another show of unbelievable arrogance, Obama has canceled Catholic services on a US Navy Base, locking the doors.
The priest can’t even volunteer his time without being arrested.
Obama seems to think his actions are above reproach. Either he is just plain dumb, or the end is nigh for our current system of laws and governance and he knows it. He’s already usurped most of our constitution.
The closer we get to the imminent collapse of our economic system and martial law, the more tyrannical his actions will become.
Think things are bad so far? You haven’t seen anything yet!
In the wake of the government shutdown, despite provisions in the Pay Our Military Act, Catholics at Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base in Georgia are being denied religious services.
The Catholic priest who serves this community has been prohibited from even volunteering to celebrate Holy Mass without pay, and was told that if he violated that order, he could be subject to arrest.
Protestant services continue to take place. Only Catholic services have been shutdown. This is an astonishing attack on religious freedom by the federal government, and the latest affront towards the military since the beginning of the shutdown.
As a result, the Thomas More Law Center (TMLC), a national public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, MI, today, filed a federal lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.
The lawsuit was filed on behalf of Father Ray Leonard, a Catholic priest 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. Fr. Leonard is a civilian Catholic Pastor contracted by the Department of Defense (DoD) to serve as a military chaplain at Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base in Georgia.
He is a Constitutional Attorney….REMEMBER, This Country was FOUNDED on Separation of Church and State. The De-Funding has affected everything….and the very folks that started this mess are the FIRST ones to point fingers…JUST Like in Benghazi… The Secretary of State HC WARNED and Begged Congress not to cut funding to Embassy Security and, that their de-funding of over $150 MILLION $$$ would effect Security..( then SHE got the Blame…)…Two of very good friends are U.S. AMBASSADORS… once again PROPAGANDA…. (sadly…it’s all counter- productive to the People of AMERICA…)
doesnt it state that he is a CONTRACTED priest how many other CONTRACTED government employees are not being paid and by the way the poor cathalics karmas a bitch
“Attack on religious freedom?” No one is telling them they can’t practice their religion. Get a grip you reactionary retards. They can go somewhere else for services. As usual, there’s more to this story than what is in this article,
I challenge anyone to find any evidence that Obama closed this church or threatened the priest. Obama probably didn’t even know this thing existed. This is on a base level.
obama is one of those “”because I said so”” people…. Ive always hated those people!
Mary Gomez hit it right on the head. Haters will say anything even if it is not the truth. In the article there is a ticker running above it and one of the articles is that the Ohio senate is barring libertarians from the elections. The republican control the Ohio Senate and the legislature. Next they will be blaming Obama for that also.
Why is obama attacking our military, churches, priests, grave yards, memorials & parks? I hear now he will be cutting off food by shutting down the EBT cards for all of November. With all our $’s he keeps giving away we should be rich!!! What the Heck! Maybe it’s called Martial Law!!
I’m currently stationed at KIngs Bay, this story is 100% fact. I am also a Catholic, so to my commander in chief, thank you very much for oppressing my first amendment rights while I’m serving to protect them.
Don’t you mean Congress?
I was never a very religious man, but spent many a Sunday in those exact pews. Those good people never pushed their agendas. They just asked people to live well and treat each other well. This whole thing is rediculous. Sorry my brothers of the phin.
