Hegseth to Catholics: Get Lost!

[JLW]

A Pentagon Good Friday service that excluded a Catholic observance is drawing new scrutiny toward Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, adding to growing criticism over his leadership decisions, including the firing of senior military officials and concerns about stalled promotions affecting women and Black officers.

According to reporting circulated Friday and first highlighted by HuffPost, Pentagon staff received an internal email announcing a Good Friday event at the Pentagon Chapel described as a Protestant service, with no Catholic liturgy scheduled. A Defense Department spokesperson confirmed to reporters that the Protestant service was the only one planned inside the Pentagon that day.


"Just a friendly reminder: There will be a Protestant Service (No Catholic Mass) for Good Friday today at the Pentagon Chapel," allegedly said the email shared by a staff member, which hasn't been seen by The Latin Times.

The controversy comes just days after The Washington Post reported that Hegseth has been hosting monthly evangelical Christian services inside the Pentagon, a move that has unsettled some service members and former military officials.

Seems to me that Hegseth believes that some Christians are more equal than other Christians.

I guess after he is finished purging blacks and women from the Pentagon, Catholics can’t be far behind.

Welcome to the new Middle Ages.

Watch out Rome, you may be next!

All these denominations that just believe whatever they feel like because original Christianity was too hard for them think that they're the real deal now

Watch out Rome, you may next on the Hegseth hit list!

"The announcement regarding the Good Friday service at the Pentagon Chapel reflects a broader shift in the Department of War's approach to religious services under Secretary Pete Hegseth.




While specific official statements regarding the exclusion of Catholic Mass today have centered on logistical and denominational restructuring, the situation is rooted in three primary factors:

1.​

Secretary Hegseth recently announced a significant reduction in the number of recognized religious "faith codes" within the military. The Department has moved from recognizing over 200 distinct religious affiliations to just 31.

+1

• This consolidation is part of an effort to "refocus" the Chaplain Corps.
  
  
  
  
• Under this new framework, many Protestant denominations have been grouped together for "General Christian" services, which Hegseth has personally championed and hosted at the Pentagon on a monthly basis.
  
  

2. Preference for Reformed Evangelical Tradition​

Secretary Hegseth is a member of the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches (CREC), a conservative Protestant network. Since taking office, he has shifted the tone of Pentagon religious events to align more closely with this tradition.

+1

• The monthly services he hosts frequently feature guest speakers from the CREC.
  
  
  
  
• These services often emphasize a "warrior-centric" theology, which Hegseth argues is more appropriate for the Department of War than traditional liturgical or "therapeutic" religious models.

3. Chaplain Corps Reforms​

Hegseth has introduced reforms stating that military chaplains should be "chaplains first and officers second."

• Removal of Rank: Chaplains no longer wear rank insignia, only faith symbols.
  
  
  
  
• Liturgical Shifts: There has been a reported push to move away from high-church liturgical traditions (like the Catholic Mass) in shared spaces like the Pentagon Chapel in favor of "unified" Protestant-style worship services that the Secretary believes foster greater "unbreakable unity" among the troops."

In other words, Catholics are relegated to the back of the bus.

Thank you for substantiating the OP.

No, Catholics are Christians just as Protestants, Mormons, etc.

After the Pope dissed him and Trump, you expected otherwise?

Catholics aren't Christian, and the US is a Christian country....

See how it works. Follow a lie with another lie and all of a sudden, wow, everyone's licking your feet.

While we Catholics do have services on Good Friday, going to Mass is not generally done. I have no problem with his arrangements and I"m RC.

You are too stupid for words.

 

[Matted Joybeard]

It’s so funny how they love crusader imagery and symbolism but despise Catholicism.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Catholics do not Mass on Good Friday.

What a non story.

Looking to outrage those who hate religion in the first place?

I bet the sermon will not be in Latin, either.
