Military archbishop: Army’s cancellation of religious support contracts unfairly harms Catholics - OSV News

Military Archbishop Criticizes Cancellation of Religious Support Contracts

The Archdiocese for the Military Services announced that the Army has cancelled all religious support contracts for Army chapels.

According to Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio, this cancellation includes contracts for religious educators, administrators, and musicians.

This has placed on Catholics “an insurmountable restriction on the free exercise of religion.”

The archbishop stated that this change has been noticeable to those attending Mass, visiting chapel offices, or participating in faith formation on U.S. Army installations since October 5, 2025.

The archbishop plans to send a letter to members of the military archdiocese and all members of Congress regarding this issue.
