An advocate for America's fighting men and women says she's disappointed the Catholic Church didn't take a stronger stance against the recent lame-duck Congress's reckless decision to repeal the law that banned homosexuals from military service.
In a recent interview, Washington Cardinal Donald Wuerl said the Roman Catholic Church has no official position on whether homosexual men and women should be allowed to serve openly in the military.
Elaine Donnelly, president of the Center for Military Readiness, says it appeared that Wuerl was not prepared for the question.
"...And he should have been [prepared], because the archbishop who is in charge of military services based in Washington, DC, did issue a statement back in June recommending that the law not be repealed," Donnelly points out.
"But when the issue got right down to the final vote -- the one that ultimately was successful," she laments, "the Catholic Church, among other organizations that had spoken in June, were silent." (Catholic Church silent at wrong time)
