    A chaplain position has no religious requirement, and every chaplain must be accepting and work with every religion without discrimination.

    Now, obviously not every person will view them as a viable spiritual leader for their specific faith, but there is only so much that is possible.

      I heard a story of a Protestant who preferred to use a Catholic chaplain, as they cannot break the seal of a confession unless it is in dire circumstances (eg, they confessed to raping or murdering someone)

          There’s nothing wrong with a Protestant discussing stuff with a Catholic. They agree on 95% of things.

            Sure, what’s a little heresy amoung friends!

            If they actually believed in God then this sort of thing would matter to them, of course they don’t they just like the excuse of pretending because then they can avoid complex moral questions and having to take accountability for themselves

              We aren’t saved by a seven day or billion year creation period. We aren’t saved by the perpetual virginity of Mary or her assumption. We aren’t saved by reverend singing or clapping hands. We are saved through the blood of Jesus Christ, the lamb sacrificed for us.
