Pentagon Good Friday Service Excluded Catholics, Report Says

A planned Good Friday service at the Pentagon was for Protestants only, according to a news report. The event reportedly excluded Catholic personnel. An invitation to the service, scheduled for the Pentagon's on-site chapel, explicitly stated "No Catholic Mass." The chapel is designated as an interfaith space for all military personnel. Good Friday is a solemn holy day for Christians, marking the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Practices and services differ between Protestant and Catholic traditions. The reported exclusion has raised questions about religious inclusion within the U.S. Department of Defense. The Pentagon has not yet publicly commented on the report. The chapel is a shared facility meant to serve the diverse faiths of military members and staff.
