The next morning — Good Friday — the Pentagon sent an email to more than 3,500 employees: “Just a friendly reminder: There will be a Protestant Service (No Catholic Mass) for Good Friday today at the Pentagon Chapel.” A Pentagon spokesperson confirmed it.
When HuffPost’s Jennifer Bendery followed up, a Pentagon spokesperson confirmed: “The Protestant service is the only service scheduled in the Pentagon chapel today.”
No Catholic service of any kind. Catholics do not celebrate Mass on Good Friday — the liturgy for the day is the Celebration of the Lord’s Passion, a solemn rite in which the faithful venerate the crucifix and receive Communion.
Hegseth’s Pentagon offered nothing for them. The Department of Defense hosted a Protestant Good Friday service at the nation’s military headquarters and confirmed that Catholic worship was excluded entirely.
In the span of twenty-four hours, two arms of the Trump administration told the Catholic Church that its worship is either a security threat or simply unwelcome.
