Military Archdiocese Criticizes Army's Response to Religious Support Contracts
The Army has pledged to "reexamine" religious support contracts for Army chapels after Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio, Archbishop for the Military Services, raised concerns about their cancellation.
"The Army remains deeply committed to providing for the religious needs of all personnel, regardless of their faith background,"
a U.S. Army spokesperson said in a statement. However, the general counsel for the military archdiocese called the Army's response "wholly inadequate", citing a "lack of understanding" of the issue and "factually inaccurate" information.
"The Army is committed to ensuring the continued provision of comprehensive religious support for all our service members and their families,"
the U.S. Army spokesperson said. The military archdiocese criticized the Army's response, emphasizing the importance of religious support in maintaining morale and promoting overall well-being.
