Archdiocese blasts Walter Reed after 'cease and desist' to priests ahead of Holy Week

 

 

Walter Reed National Military Medical Center is receiving backlash after it ended its contract for pastoral care and directed a "cease and desist order" to a community of Franciscan Catholic priests and friars at Holy Name College on March 31, days before Holy Week.

The priests had spent the last two decades ministering to U.S. military personnel, veterans, and their beneficiaries at the medical center.

Note: I bet that faithful Catholic Joe Biden will be right on top of this one.  NOT!

They collected items for wounded service members and vets at Walter Reed.  In working with the American Red Cross, they collected books, snacks, toiletries, toys, clothing and gift cards.
