Why did Walter Reed administrators cancel Catholic pastoral care contract during Holy Week?

Officials with Walter Reed National Military Medical Center have not explained their controversial decision to end a longstanding contract for Catholic pastoral care services at the beginning of Holy Week.

The Roman Catholic Archdiocese for Military Services strongly criticized the nation’s most well-known military hospital for issuing a “cease and desist order” to Holy Name College, a community of Franciscan Catholic priests and brothers who have provided pastoral care to service members and veterans at Walter Reed for two decades.

According to the Catholic leaders, the U.S. military has awarded a new contract for Catholic pastoral care to a for-profit secular company that the archdioceses believes cannot provide adequate care.
