Banana republic, anyone?

In a stunning development, some military priests are facing arrest if they celebrate mass or practice their faith on military bases during the federal government shutdown.

�With the government shutdown, many [government service] and contract priests who minister to Catholics on military bases worldwide are not permitted to work � not even to volunteer,� wrote John Schlageter, the general counsel for the Archdiocese for the Military Services USA, in an op-ed this week. �During the shutdown, it is illegal for them to minister on base and they risk being arrested if they attempt to do so.�

Do they think the government endows us with the right to worship?

Wait, never mind, I think I know the answer to that.

The bureaucracy: the new fourth branch of government. The bureaucracy is permanent, unaccountable, unelected and choking us like a weed. The bureaucrat exists, generating nothing of value, using perceived problems to justify his existence.

A mature Christian will remember that the Holy Spirit resides within them. There is no earthly way that the government can sever the tie that binds Christians to Christ.

"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." Thomas Jefferson

"If people can�t trust not only the executive branch but also don�t trust Congress, and don�t trust federal judges, to make sure that we�re abiding by the Constitution with due process and rule of law, then we�re going to have some problems here." - Barack Obama, June 7, 2013
