English/ Español: Rubio on DOD’s Reversal to Grant Catholic Pastoral Care for Service Members at Walter Reed
Earlier this year, amid the sacred and solemn time of Holy Week, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center issued a “cease and desist order” to Holy Name College Friary. The Franciscans have provided pastoral care to service members and veterans at Walter Reed for nearly two decades. Following pressure from members of Congress and Catholics around the country, Franciscan priests will be allowed to return to their ministry at Walter Reed.
U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) issued a statement after the Department of Defense reversed its decision to grant the award to a secular contractor which cannot fulfill the statement of work.
- “It is unconscionable that during the presidency of the second Catholic leader in our nation’s history, the Catholic ministry at Walter Reed was not renewed. Following strong criticism from both Catholics around the country and U.S. legislators, the Biden Administration eventually reversed its decision. I will continue to fight to ensure service members and veterans at home and abroad can fully live out their faith.”—Senator Rubio

RUBIO SOBRE LA REVERSIÓN DEL DEPARTAMENTO DE DEFENSA DE OTORGAR ATENCIÓN PASTORAL A LOS MILITARES EN WALTER REED
A principios de este año, durante el tiempo sagrado y solemne de la Semana Santa, el Centro Médico Militar Walter Reed emitió una orden de “cese y desista” al Holy Name College Friary. Los frailes franciscanos han brindado atención pastoral a miembros de las fuerzas armadas y veteranos en Walter Reed por casi dos décadas. Tras presión por parte de miembros del Congreso y católicos de EE.UU., los franciscanos podrán regresar a su ministerio en Walter Reed.
El senador estadounidense Marco Rubio (R-FL) emitió un comunicado después que el Departamento de Defensa revocara su decisión de otorgarle la adjudicación a un contratista secular que no puede cumplir con su trabajo.
- “Es inconcebible que durante la presidencia del segundo líder católico en la historia de nuestro país, no se haya renovado el ministerio católico en Walter Reed. Tras las fuertes críticas tanto de católicos de EE.UU. como de legisladores del país, la Administración Biden finalmente revocó su decisión. Continuaré luchando para garantizar que los miembros de nuestras fuerzas armadas y los veteranos de nuestro país tanto en EE.UU. como en el extranjero puedan vivir plenamente su fe”.—Senador Rubio
