My guess is they were told they would need a sponsor and pass to get on base, and couldn't just drive or stroll on.  Of course going on base without a pass would probably result in...arrest.

Cue face palm and relax.

This is a new fiscal year, so the new contracts (FY14) are unfunded.
Since we can't pay the contract we can't demand the services.
The government is also legally prohibited from accepting donations of services that are contracted but unpaid.

The priests, or organ players, or anyone else for that matter aren't going to be arrested.  There's no authority to arrest.
If they do "get arrested" someone is not reading/following the law/their orders correctly.

The military chaplains who run the various chapels have already been directed they cannot accept donations of time and labor so they wll largely manage chapel access.

BLUF: Contractors with a contract start date of 1 OCT are not authorized to perform work.  They are also NOT authorized to provide a gift to the government of their volunteer service.  This includes musicians, DREs, and Catholic Contract Religious Ministry Professionals (CRMP).  The "Excepted" category includes suicide and substance abuse counseling, other activities authorized by the Secretary of Defense to provide for the safety of life or protection of property" and "Emergency counseling and crisis intervention intake screening and referral services."  "Generally speaking, contract for faith specific religious services (including music/religious education/weekend worship) do not fall into the above category because contractors are not first responders and there are uniformed Chaplains/Religious Program Specialists available to provide pastoral care and support in the above situations."

While you can hold services, chapel contractors are not authorized (even if they are willing to volunteer their services) to support your services or religious education.

When the priests offered to volunteer their services to provide for the needs of their military parishioners, or even in cases where the people offered to pay for it, the administration told them that if they attempted to perform their duties on base they faced arrest.

Can't allow someone to volunteer to perform work if they have been contracted to perform the same job. It's illegal, believe it or not.

The restriction only applies to those that are current employees, either contracted or GS.  It is the exact same restriction for all furloughed federal employees.  A local Catholic priest who is not a DoD employees would not be prohibited from volunteering his time.  The problem, though, is what to do where there aren't any that can do this.

Obama didn't order it.  Congress is the one who makes these rules  And GD is the place where people were chearing this on.  Now, it seems like everyday a new "well, we didn't mean that" exception pops up.

This is all true.

If the services were/are contracted for, by law you cannot offer those services for free or donate the.  You will be arrested.

This is only the case because the .mil is contracting out to the church for the services.  It's a contracting law issue, not an Obama issue, other than the fact that they have been listed as non-essential.  Obama actually doesn't have any say in it, it's the law.

Although, in general, FBHO.

I don't know if that is true.  because there is a cvontract in place with a contractor, I don't believe the Govt can accept any donation of those contracted services from anyone.  It would be a violation of the contract with the original contractor as well.

Because there is worldwide shortage of Catolic Priests.

 There is a chronic shortage of active duty Catholic chaplains. While roughly 25% of the military is Catholic, Catholic priests make up only about 8% of the chaplain corps.


There are sufficient uniformed Chaplains of other faiths.
In order to supplement the military contracts Catolic Priests to perform services.
So a Priest from a parish in the area is contracted by the military to travel to the installation and perform Mass.
Some may travel overnight to do this at a very rural installation.

Right now there is a shortage of Priests in DoD. Not sure why that is, but the services have had to contract for Priests due to the shortage.

Other Christian faiths have adequate representation in the Chaplain Corps right now, so only Catholic Priests are being contracted for.

Probably because they are the only ones who take a vow of poverty, and wouldn't feel comfortable making Major or LtCol pay like all the other god squad does.
