Military Archbishop Speaks Out
Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio, of the Archdiocese for the Military Services, stated that the Army's cancellation of all religious support contracts for Army chapels is unfairly harming Catholics.
"including those for religious educators, administrators, and musicians."
This cancellation has resulted in an "insurmountable restriction on the free exercise of religion" for Catholics, according to the archbishop.
- Contract services and contractor offices were closed starting Sunday, October 5, 2025.
- Music was absent during Mass.
The archbishop addressed a letter to members of the military archdiocese, which will also be sent to all members of Congress.
