Please read this article.This man is stupid enough to express what many clergy and their followers feel who inhabit most of the institutional Church! I have absolutely no doubt that in the U.S. the Sunday before the Presidential election, many, if not most, clergy will be preaching on "the sanctity of marriage" from the pulpit and how "it's the duty of every Christian to vote." Given their tax e

QUANTICO, Va. (AP) — An HIV-positive Navy chaplain has been sentenced to two years in prison after pleading guilty to forcible sodomy and other charges. Lieutenant Commander John Lee admitted having sex with an Air Force officer without disclosing that he had HIV. He also admitted to forcing himself on a midshipman in the U.S. Naval Academy. Lee was sentenced after entering a plea agreement at his court-martial in Quantico, Virginia. A Marine spokesman says nobody is known to have contracted HIV from Lee. Lee, a Catholic priest, had been assigned as a chaplain at the Naval Academy from 2003 to 2006, and later as chaplain at the Marine Corps base in Quantico. He was relieved of his duties and had his ability to function as a priest revoked in June. -- RMSTringer+++++++++++++++ Subscribe to my Posts...

I don’t know how many people remember the James Yee case from 2003, but unfortunately this Muslim scumbag has popped up again, this time literally in cahoots with the enemy.
James Yee is the former Muslim Chaplain who was stationed at Guantánamo Bay. He was the religious counselor for all the terror suspects detained there.
Throughout his deployment many of his fellow soldiers became deeply suspicious of Yee, and felt that he was a sympathizer who was working against them as best he could.
When returning from duty at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, he was arrested on September 10, 2003, in Jacksonville, Florida, when a U.S. Customs agent found a list of Guantanamo detainees and interrogators among his belongings.
He was charged with five offenses: sedition, aiding the enemy, spying, espionage, and failure to obey a general order. These charges were later reduced to mishandling classified information in addition to some minor charges.
He was then transferred to a United States Na

Booted Navy officer launches 50-state tour of praying ‘in Jesus’ name’
A chaplain who was dismissed from the U.S. Navy when he refused to following orders to make his prayers “nonsectarian” and remove the name of Jesus from them now has been commissioned by the governor of Kentucky as an honorary “Kentucky Colonel.”
Just one week after his dismissal from the Navy was completed, Chaplain Gordon James Klingenschmitt also prayed “in Jesus’ name” on the floor of the Kentucky Legislature, where the state house then passed a unanimous resolution to honor Navy chaplains who pray in Jesus’ name.
He prayed:
Our Father in heaven, I come to you through my Lord Jesus Christ, and I ask that you be our only God today.
Test the reins of our hearts, to see if there is any sin, any idol, or anything we’ll not give up for you.
Remove from us every false thing we delight in, and everything we rely upon, so we may delight in and rely
(*From an email received by LittleOleLady from the United States Justice Foundation. )
On Mar 1, 2007, Navy Chaplain Gordon James Klingenschmitt was fired by the U.S. Navy, ending his 16 year military career, for the “crime” of wearing his uniform to pray publicly “in Jesus name.” He has now lost his million dollar pension. His family was evicted from their home in military housing. Yet he’s declaring victory….
Why declare victory? The U.S. Congress agreed with him, and rescinded the exact same “Navy prayer policy” which was enforced against him at court-martial. Now all other chaplains have limited freedom to pray “in Jesus name.” His sacrifice purchased their liberty.
But the Navy refuses to “grandfather” that legislative victory back to his case. Navy lawyers still today defend that bad policy in federal court, even after it was rescinded by Congress, as a “lawful” reason to fire a sixteen year veteran, robbing his family of their hard
