Countering Obama

From the National Catholic Register:

In the wake of President Barack Obama's recent endorsement of same-sex “marriage,” the U.S. House Armed Services Committee adopted legislation to protect the religious liberty of members of the military, including chaplains.

A new amendment to the Fiscal Year 2013 defense-authorization bill says that the armed forces “shall accommodate the conscience and sincerely held moral principles and religious beliefs” of its members regarding “the appropriate and inappropriate expression of human sexuality.”

These beliefs or principles of conscience may not be used “as the basis of any adverse personnel action, discrimination or denial of promotion, schooling, training or assignment” against any chaplain or servicemember.
