It may also be a case by case basis. As I have seen chaplains forced into doing the multi-faith crap personally and i have seen Protestants forced to accommodate Catholics and vice versa...
under the current president though, isn't it true that they cannot do prayers in name o jesus outside Sunday, and cannot counsol outside their 'rectory', and cannot counsol one gay to stop/repent?
There are many "secular" events that a military unit may have, graduation, change of command, ect - and a chaplain may be requested to give an invocation.
In those instances, many non-Christians are required to be in attendance.
It is at those events that a Commander will insist that a prayer be non-secretion.
During a religious
volunteered attended event, there are no restrictions placed on the Chaplain.
I am not sure what you mean about counseling gay people, as it one duty of chaplains to insure that soldiers are happy.
However, if a GI comes to a chaplain for counseling - the Chaplain is free to explain that h0mosexuality is a sin
SaturnNeptune, how many times do I have to tell you to warn us if we're eating/drinking at the computer?
