...they're attacking Catholicism.

Hegseth Holds Protestant-Only Religious Service at Pentagon

According to a Friday report from HuffPost, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon held a Protestant-only Good Friday service at its in-house chapel, with no Catholic Mass scheduled for one of Christianity’s holiest days.

The setup, which excludes a Catholic service for the first time, drew frustration from at least one Pentagon employee after an internal email made the arrangement explicit.

“Just a friendly reminder: There will be a Protestant Service (No Catholic Mass) for Good Friday today at the Pentagon Chapel,” read a Friday email sent by Air Force leadership, according to a copy shared with HuffPost’s Jennifer Bendery.

“I guess so the Catholics know their kind ain’t welcome,” one employee said anonymously to HuffPost in response to the message. “It’s so ridiculous.”

..the Klan started that shit against Catholic immigrants, until they realized they could use their white votes and began focusing on Mexicans, instead, along with their support for prohibition.

To me, it looks like a revival of that nonsense, in keeping with the rest of their daddies' hate criming.
