Obama's War on Catholics results in lawsuit

The President is treading on very thin ice. Obama upped his war on Catholicism. From the Thomas More Law Center which has filed suit on behalf of Father Ray Leonard, a naval chaplin;
In the wake of the government shutdown, despite provisions in the Pay Our Military Act, Catholics at Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base in Georgia are being denied religious services. The Catholic priest who serves this community has been prohibited from even volunteering to celebrate Holy Mass without pay, and was told that if he violated that order, he could be subject to arrest. Protestant services continue to take place. Only Catholic services have been shutdown.
Not only does the President tread on the First Amendment he proves that he does not give a damn about the morale of the troops who serve under him as 25% of the armed forces are Catholic.
The Pay Our Military Act, which was enacted before the beginning of the government shutdown, provides provisions for the funding of employees whose responsibilities contribute to the morale and well-being of the military. The government has previously been criticized for interpreting the Act to not include military death benefits. Now, in yet another bizarre interpretation of the Act, some chaplains are not considered covered by these provisions, leaving Catholic members of some military facilities without spiritual guidance
