Military Archbishop Broglio: Do not repeal "Don't ask, don't tell".

I believe the Archbishop's appeal ought to be taken very seriously, but I'm afraid our representatives in Congress and the Senate will turn a deaf ear.  Especially if one takes into consideration Nancy Peolosi's latest mystical claims of following the Word, it is obvious she and most of the U.S. Government listen to a different god.  Obama has pretty much sold the farm (on the gay issues) already anyway.

Despite all of that, in my opinion, Archbishop Broglio offers the best reasons to date why the policy should not be changed...
.

The “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy barring open homosexuals from serving in the military should not be changed, the Archbishop of the Archdiocese for the Military Services said on Tuesday. Noting the need for strong rules against immoral activity, he said moral beliefs should not be sacrificed for “merely political considerations.”

.
Archbishop Timothy Broglio, writing in a June 1 statement, reported that “a number” of chaplains and commanding officers have expressed concerns about the effects of a policy change. He said he also responded to a request from the Chiefs of Chaplains of the Armed Forces, voicing his “considerations and concerns” about proposed changes to legislation regarding servicemen and women with a homosexual orientation.
.
“Catholic chaplains must show compassion for persons with a homosexual orientation, but can never condone—even silently—homosexual behavior,” he wrote, voicing concern that a change in policy might negatively affect the role of the chaplain in the pulpit, the classroom, the barracks and the office.

.
He noted that Catholic chaplains cannot accept or bless same-sex unions and no restrictions on the teaching of Catholic morality can be accepted.
.
The archbishop questioned whether the change would mean that homosexuals are authorized to engage in activities considered immoral by the Catholic Church and many other religious groups. He pointed out that morality has an effect on unit cohesion and overall morale. - CNA

Makes sense to me.
