Conservative Military Archbishop Says Catholic Troops Can Defy Trump Orders on Greenland
The archbishop responsible for pastoral care of U.S. service members says an unjust attack on a friendly nation justifies troops’ conscientious refusal under Catholic moral teaching.

This is pure, unabashed bigotry.
If a politician said this about any other faith, they would rightfully be run out of their party.
But this kind of despicable anti-Muslim rhetoric is so normalized that a sitting Senator uses it without consequence.

But (at least in the abstract) the better remedy here would be impeachment more than immunity from legal prosecution. He could pull a trifecta and qualify on all three counts: treason, bribery, and high crimes and misdemeanors. No other president has even been so highly qualified in this way.
Yet another example of the idiocy of the Supreme Court’s immunity opinion: If Trump invades Greenland, even for the most insane reason (like not winning the Nobel Peace Prize) and against our obvious national interest, it’s an “official act” that can never be held legally accountable

Archbishop Broglio is, to put it extremely mildly, not generally viewed as one of the more liberal of the American bishops.
It’s come to this: “Catholic members of the US armed forces could in good conscience consider disobeying orders to attack Greenland if such orders were issued, according to Archbishop Timothy Broglio, the bishop responsible for the pastoral care of US military personnel.”
Military archbishop: Troops could refuse orders on Greenland
Speaking to Britain's Sunday program on BBC, Archbishop Timothy Broglio reiterated that conscience could permit refusal of an unjust military order.

Just to be clear: the President is single-handedly dragging America to economic crisis and war with our closest allies.
And why? To conquer an overseas territory that we have no claim to, have never had a claim to, and already have military bases on.
Oh, and because he didn’t get a prize.

So irritating!
It's like the boiled frog.
They acculturate us to words that are ridiculous, never used, and force us to use them.
So if you play enough, you get to learn them.
Then they pretend they're open to comments. When you do suggest, they send you a list of rules, including nothing too obscure.
