On the recordJuly 12, 2023
Priests and pastors have guided our troops through the darkest days of our toughest battles, and it is imperative that Congress continues to support and defend the religious liberty of our brave servicemen and -women. This year, on Easter weekend, the Biden administration kicked Catholic priests out of Walter Reed National Military Medical Center through a cease and desist order. In response to this attack on our servicemembers and their religious liberty rights, I had the honor of leading my colleagues in the House in sending a letter to Biden's Department of Defense demanding answers and accountability. The Defense Department claims that they are looking into why pastoral care was removed from Walter Reed during Holy Week, but Congress must demand that they correct this wrongdoing to ensure that this never happens again. We must safeguard religious liberty for our troops by ensuring pastoral care at Department of Defense medical facilities. ____________________
