"The Department of Defense hosted a Protestant Good Friday service at the nation’s military headquarters and confirmed that Catholic worship was excluded entirely.

A Pentagon employee who has worked there since 1980 told Letters from Leo that this is the first time a Catholic Good Friday service hasn’t been offered in their time."

"In the span of twenty-four hours, two arms of the Trump administration told the Catholic Church that its worship is either a security threat or simply unwelcome."

The church to which Hegseth belongs is part of the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches. Hegseth has invited Douglas Wilson, co-founder of this Communion, to preach at the Pentagon.

Wilson sat down for an interview a month ago with John Papola.

In that interview, Wilson stated that America was founded to be a Christian nation, a special place for evangelical Christians, who are meant to run things in this special nation.

He states that the America he is working to build would be one that outlaws Catholic processions, because they are "a public display of idolatry."

“'Pope Leo and his representatives are speaking out, strongly, against the Trump regime’s inhumane immigration policies and against Trump’s criminal war in Iran. They need to do more,' he said."
