    Hilarious that the church thinks it can step in and dictate which killings their god endorses

    Here’s a better message for Catholics in the army: You swore an oath to defend the US and its constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic. A domestic enemy is actively soiling the office of the president, and rather than defend us against him, you continue to follow his orders. Stop doing what’s easy, and start doing what’s right.

    They should turn their weapons on the brass.

    It’s not contrary to the church’s teachings. Evidence in support of my position: Centuries of the Pope being totally fine with mass executions and murder. Also, Holy Bible. Yes, it does say “do not kill”, it also says “kill”. For example, it says to honor your mother and father, and it says that parents should murder their disobedient children by stoning. Then, it says “don’t kill.” So, it’s more like ‘don’t kill*’. But they had not invented asterisks yet. It’s almost as if different people wrote different parts of the Bible, and it’s a contradictory mess. Anyway, if you can’t follow orders, don’t join the military. Following orders is, like, the most important part.
