One senior #Vatican official familiar with internal assessments of the meeting called it “unusual” & not “a walk in the park.” It was “a frank & direct dialogue on issues where the distance between the Vatican & the #US is evident & clear,” said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive internal assessments.

During the discussion, the small group of #Pentagon & #Vatican officials discussed their differing views of current events, according to people on both sides with knowledge of the conversation. What is less clear is how adversarial the meeting was.

The issue had split the lower courts. An appeals court in #Florida found a set of similar local laws restricting #therapy in the #state was unconstitutional. A divided panel of the US Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit sided with #Colorado, finding that talk therapy provided by a #MentalHealth professional is a #medical treatment that can be #regulated as part of the state licensure process.

In general, the #FirstAmendment prevents the government from restricting #speech because it dislikes the content or message. But #SCOTUS has said certain restrictions aimed at governing a person’s conduct are permissible even if they incidentally burden speech. [if those restrictions adhere to the justices’ own ideologies.]

Ret Army Maj Gen Randy Manner, who was second-in-command at the #NationalGuard 2011–2012, has worked in recent years to train hundreds of #interfaith #military #chaplains. Manner said he has talked with “dozens & dozens” of active-duty chaplains in recent weeks who say those who don’t identify with #Hegseth “are being marginalized.”

His social media profile & public comments routinely espouse *his* understanding of #Christianity, which is one that would dominate American life & cast those who disagree with him as God’s enemies. #Hegseth has brought clergy from his small Christian denomination to preach at the #Pentagon, including a prominent pastor who says #women shouldn’t have the right to #vote.

Rather than boosting cohesion through a more universal spiritual uplift, they say, the new approach violates the #Constitution & undermines the bonds of mutual #respect between #troops that are essential, especially in #wartime.
Every month at the #Pentagon, #Hegseth hosts #evangelical worship services that #legal experts say are unprecedented.

"While many may celebrate so-called successes gained for women over the last 30 years, one must ask what defines true success for women?" she began, adding that "biological reality is rooted in scientific truth & is confirmed by the universal truths that we are endowed by our Creator who made us 'male & female.'"

"This radical agenda of subjective 'gender fluidity' & unrestricted shower & bathroom access actually endangers all," she stated, noting that "predators" could abuse the policy.

CW: CW: religion & USPOL, painful stuff
Disappointed but sadly not surprised. I suppose it's time for another reformation. Same problem, 500 years later.
I've been thinking this for a while.
Ironically, there's actually a quasi-denomination called the #NewApostolicReformation, but it is (scarcely ironically) far short of anything that could be called a #Reformation.
