Catholic priests who minister at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center were issued a “cease and desist order” just before Holy Week.

I warned you that a day was fast-approaching when people who follow the teachings of Jesus Christ would be shunned from the public marketplace. That’s why I wrote “Culture Jihad: How to Stop the Left From Killing a Nation.” Click here to read this very important book.

In a statement on Saturday, Walter Reed said the center is a “welcoming and healing environment that honors and supports a full range of religious, spiritual, and cultural needs.”

The Holy Name College Friary had been providing priests to the hospital for nearly two decades, according to the Catholic Archdiocese for the Military Services.

“It is incomprehensible that essential pastoral care is taken away from the sick and the aged when it was so readily available,” Archbishop Timothy Broglio said in a statement. “This is a classic case where the adage ‘if it is not broken, do not fix it’ applies.”

The White House needs to explain why a Catholic president would banish Catholic priests from a military hospital just before Holy Week.

The medical center is reportedly going to replace the priests with a government-approved, for-profit contractor to provide Catholic ministry. In other words, don’t be surprised if Ray Epps or his cronies at the FBI are sporting clerical collars and hearing your confessions.

“The refusal to provide adequate pastoral care while awarding a contract for Catholic ministry to a for-profit company that has no way of providing Catholic priests to the medical center is a glaring violation of service members’ and veterans’ Right to the Free Exercise of Religion,” the archdiocese said.

Sounds exactly like what an old-timey democrat would do.

EXPLOSIVE REPORT: FBI Agents Infiltrated Catholic Churches

The House Judiciary Committee has subpoenaed FBI Director Christopher Wray for documents related to an FBI operation to infiltrate Catholic churches and develop sources.

The subpoena comes amid the House GOP effort to conduct oversight of the Biden administration’s alleged weaponization of government against political dissent or opposing views, including the FBI’s “handling of domestic violent extremism investigations against Catholic Americans,” House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, wrote in a letter to Wray on Monday.

Jordan’s committee reports that documents have revealed the FBI sought to develop sources in local Catholic churches, as it sought to use local religious organizations as “new avenues for tripwire and source development,” according to a Monday news release highlighting the subpoena.

“Based on the limited information produced by the FBI to the committee, we now know that the FBI relied on at least one undercover agent to produce its analysis, and that the FBI proposed that its agents engage in outreach to Catholic parishes to develop sources among the clergy and church leadership to inform on Americans practicing their faith,” Jordan’s subpoena letter read. “This shocking information reinforces our need for all responsive documents, and the Committee is issuing a subpoena to you to compel your full cooperation.”

The committee is requesting FBI documents “without redactions,” which guarantees the information will be classified due to the long-running standard of protecting sources and methods.

But the House Judiciary Committee was outraged over the possibility that the FBI is spying on Catholic Americans.

“This information is outrageous and only reinforces the Committee’s need for all FBI material responsive to our request,” the letter added. “The documents produced to date show how the FBI sought to enlist Catholic houses of worship as potential sources to monitor and report on their parishioners.-- excerpt, rest at link above --
