The Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA (AMS), has received many messages and is well aware of the news items published over the past few days about the decision by the U.S. Navy regarding the pastoral care of Catholics at Naval Base (NB) Coronado, Naval Support Activity (NSA) Monterey, and NB Ventura County—all of which are currently served by civilian Catholic priests willing and able to continue their ministry. In what’s being described as a “cost-cutting” move, the Navy has announced it will cancel the contracts of civilian Catholic priests who serve these military faith communities. Meanwhile on-base Protestant services, led by active-duty non-Catholic chaplains, will continue as usual.

All Archbishop Broglio needs to do to solve the problem is to put more priests in the Navy as chaplains.

So there aren't enough active-duty Catholic chaplains to go around. The insinuation is that Catholics in the Navy are being discriminated against because they are Catholic.

That's a shame. Maybe the Navy needs to transfer some Catholic Navy Chaplains to the bases.
