The bishop responsible for the pastoral care of approximately 250,000 Catholic personnel (25% of the total US armed forces worldwide) said personnel "could be put in a situation where they're being ordered to do something that's morally questionable" if the US military acted on Dummkopf Trumpf's bellicose threats to take military action to seize Greenland, a resource-rich island coveted by him and other greedy billionaire oligarchs.

Speaking on the BBC's Sunday program on 18 January, Archbishop Broglio said it would be "very difficult for a Soldier or a Marine or a Sailor by himself to disobey an order such as that," but "within the realm of their own conscience it would be morally acceptable to disobey."

In December, the sky pilot issued a statement condemning a "second strike" by US forces on an alleged drug trafficking vessel in the Caribbean, insisting that "the moral principle forbidding the intentional killing of noncombatants is inviolable."

Archbishop of the Military Services Timothy Broglio did not mention if Catholic servicemembers could also disobey the immoral and intentional US bombing of Muslim targets in Nigeria, Syria, Somalia, Yemen, Iraq, or Iran. Since Greenlanders and NATO personnel deployed to defend it are predominantly Christian, and Venezuelans are predominantly Catholic, this soulmonger's attitude makes perfect sense.

"Gott mit uns."

The Archbishop answers to a different Commander-in-Chief than Donald Trump.

Trump's position on the matter is that Ye Shall Have No Gods Before Me.
