Here's a better message for Catholics in the army:

You swore an oath to defend the US and its constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic. A domestic enemy is actively soiling the office of the president, and rather than defend us against him, you continue to follow his orders. Stop doing what's easy, and start doing what's right.

That's been doctrine since 2018.

American Catholics should also be prohibited by doctrine from voting for political candidates who support the death penalty. The death penalty is carried out on behalf of the government. You know, "of the people."

Voting for a death penalty candidate is a form of participating in the executions that come from that vote. If the executioner refuses to do their job, the government will find someone else.

Compare that with abortion, it's only allowing others to get abortions. If an expectant woman refuses to get an abortion, that's the end of that. It's just her choice.

How DARE he tell his Pro Life congregation to be Pro LIFE!

How many divisions does the pope have?

They should turn their weapons on the brass.

Hilarious that the church thinks it can step in and dictate which killings their god endorses

no, see, the bible prescribes stonings, not firing squads.

If they're still in the military, that's their choice. Most of these fucks want to fight for cheetohead. Otherwise, they would have looked to change their career in the last 10 years.

It's not contrary to the church's teachings.

Evidence in support of my position: Centuries of the Pope being totally fine with mass executions and murder. Also, Holy Bible. Yes, it does say "do not kill", it also says "kill".

For example, it says to honor your mother and father, and it says that parents should murder their disobedient children by stoning.

Then, it says "don't kill."

So, it's more like 'don't kill*'. But they had not invented asterisks yet.

It's almost as if different people wrote different parts of the Bible, and it's a contradictory mess.

Anyway, if you can't follow orders, don't join the military. Following orders is, like, the most important part.
