National Chaplaincy opposed as constitutional farce

The Banner of Liberty rejects the claim that the national chaplaincy predates the government and traces its growth from gratis openings to paid clergy in Congress. It argues prayers were unpaid in early sessions, then expanded to salaries by 1816, and lists denominations of chaplains across Congress, Army, and Navy. It warns of the system’s growth and urges action to abolish it.
