    This would be better in General, but don't think it would be accepted by the hierarchy.

    The trashing of the US Constitution must almost be complete:

    "Priest Returns from China - Has Mass Blocked by U.S. Government

    The administration's decision to prohibit civilian priests from administering the sacraments at military bases was more than just an inconvenience

    In China, says Father Leonard, "We expected the Communist Party to interfere and block religious services. They were very clear that they despised religion and they would do that. There was no question. But the great surprise is to be here and be standing in front of my chapel where I am the pastor and told that you can't have services here by decree of the government." Represented by the Thomas More Law Center, this heroic priest is now suing the U.S. Department of Defense for violating the First Amendment right to the free exercise of religion. He says he will take the case all the way to the Supreme Court if he must."

    This was done under threat of arrest.


    At the same time members of the military are quite free to state Satanism as their religion.
