Heading into a whole new level of US religious zealotry here.
Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump are apostates and heretics to Christianity. It would make sense that they don’t want any actual Christians there who might show how fake Hegseth’s pretense to religion is.
Much of this march towards Christian nationalism is coming from the white protestant evangelicals and they do not necessarily consider Catholics as Christians. At some point the fighting between them should be expected.
Either let people worship their religion while in the military or keep it out. Our Government has no business picking and choosing.
Seeing as they already excluded the teachings of Jesus, this isn’t really all that shocking
ooh, were discriminating against papists again? I thought that died in the 70s when the far right started using religion to unify control. we really are regressing.
If you aren’t part of the American founded Christian groups you aren’t a Christian in their eyes. Ironically those American Christians are the one you definitely don’t want to associate with.
And there it is. If you let the exclusionary dipshits run things, sooner or later they will exclude you too.
Taliban wannabes
As a Catholic I am proud as fuck that these heretics don’t like us. They’re vile human beings who actively hate everything Christ stood for. Their judgment will be appropriate.
During its 1920s resurgence, the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) adopted virulent anti-Catholicism as a core tenet, viewing Catholics as un-American, disloyal to the U.S. due to allegiance to the Pope, and a threat to Protestant dominance. The KKK harassed Catholic communities through cross-burnings, boycotts, and political intimidation, particularly targeting immigrants.
I’m sure JD Vance and Peter Thiel are thrilled.
Nationalism masked as religion. Fuck each and every single one of those people.
L. O. Fucking L.
Remember when this country hated Catholics? Remember the claims that they would never assimilate because their true allegiance was to the Papacy? Remember that QAnon-esque memoir penned by Maria Monk that further fueled anti-Catholic fury?
Yeah. Plenty of evangelicals still feel this way about Catholics.
The only thing a baptist hates more than a satanist is a catholic.
Fucking proto-Gilead.
As a very liberal Catholic, I would be ever so delighted to be excluded from anything to do with this administration ever. These people are not Christian in even the broadest sense of the word. Every hateful word they have spoken, every diabolical action they have carried out, and every life taken both directly and indirectly by their decisions, are in complete opposition to what true Christianity is all about.
The thing about evangelicals is that they don’t really want to live in a world with any other religion.
Combining church and state doesn’t just make state worse, you drag religion down too.
How do you have a good friday event and exclude CATHOLICS
And I feel like Catholics really grasp Good Friday in a way that evangelicals do not. I’ve never had a Catholic wish me a “Happy Good Friday.”
Can’t wait for the Catholic MAGA dunces to realize that as far as the GOP is concerned, Catholics might as well be satanists.
“Just a friendly reminder: There will be a Protestant Service (No Catholic Mass) for Good Friday today at the Pentagon Chapel,” reads a Friday email sent by Air Force leadership, a copy of which was shared by an employee.
“I guess so the Catholics know their kind ain’t welcome,” said this employee, who requested anonymity to speak about internal communications. “It’s so ridiculous.”
A Pentagon spokesperson confirmed it is not hosting another, separate religious service for Catholic employees.
“The Protestant service is the only service scheduled in the Pentagon chapel today,” they said in a statement.
Are all those maga Catholics realizing they were never in the “in group” yet?
It’s always amazing to watch the Catholics realize they aren’t included in the short list of what counts as Christians to these people.
Got bad news for all the Catholics, Mormons, and Scientologists that voted for the Project 2025 gang…
My mom told me that her mother had to convert to Catholicism to marry my grandfather and it was apparently a huge, huge deal when they did it back in the ’50s, like my grandmother lost contact with several members of her family for doing it. I never understood it until my high school US history teacher told us about how a lot of conservatives in the country were *pissed* JFK was running for president because he was Catholic, and then a lot of it started to kind of make sense.
Oh please let this happen. PUHLEEEEEEESE Come for the Catholics!! Please!! Oh the acceleration we’ve all been hoping for!!!
Best of luck with this Dipshits! You truly TRULY have no idea what you’re getting yourselves into, You will lose entire states and have no idea why. Texas, Louisiana, the upper Midwest.. GONE
I’m sorry but why the fuck are there religious services of any kind held at the Pentagon?
Yeah, I always think of this when people say America should be a “Christian nation.” Which type of Christian are you talking about?
And, now the Catholics in the GOP “Big Tent” are in the find-out stage.
