TL;DR Summary

Two dozen Republican lawmakers are demanding answers from the Pentagon after Walter Reed National Military Medical Center sent a "cease and desist" letter to Catholic priests to stop providing care during Holy Week, slamming the move as a violation of the First Amendment. The lawmakers are demanding answers from Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on why the Biden administration sent the "cease and desist" letter and why the administration chose to "terminate the contact" with the Holy Name College Friary. The Defense Health Agency told Fox News Digital that there "was no cancelation of Catholic services at Walter Reed, especially during Holy Week."
