According to an instructor for the US Army Reserve, that may be the case. The Archeiocese for the Military Services, USA isn’t amused.
The Archdiocese for the Military Services and Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty recently became aware of a U.S. Army Reserve Equal Opportunity training brief that expressly listed “Catholicism,” “Evangelical Christianity” and other religious groups as examples of “religious extremism” alongside groups such as “Al Qaeda”, “Hamas” and the “KKK.”
The archdiocese is evidently “astounded” that they’d be listed with “violent and extreme” groups.
Granted, the training was an “isolated incident” and wasn’t condoned by the Army. Nevertheless, they’re still ticked off and want the Department of Defense to review the materials.
The Archdiocese calls upon the Department of Defense to review these materials and to ensure that tax-payer funds are never again used to present blatantly anti-religious material to the men and women in uniform.
(But pro-religious materials are evidently fine. Just an FYI.)
