For those of you who THINK you know what it is like to be a military chaplain but really have no experience other than what you have dreamed up in your misinformed imagination, Chaplains have a lot of freedom...a lot! When deployed with a unit for 6-12 months, Chaplains are often the only spiritual advisor for hundreds and sometimes thousands of souls. There is no one, no one, standing over them to tell them what to pray, how to pray, or how to council those in need.
A Traditionally Trained Catholic Priest / Chaplain has the potential to save a lot of souls under his command. Let us Pray that this is a beam of light and grace in a desperately dark and deprived spiritual desert.
Fr. Kapaun...PRAY FOR US!
