Catholic Archbishop Orders Soldiers to Refuse Firing Squad Duty Amid Livestream Debate
Archbishop Timothy Broglio has directed Catholic military personnel to request exemption from participating in the December 3 firing squad execution of Nidal Hasan. This directive follows Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s proposal to livestream the historic execution, a plan that has drawn sharp criticism from religious leaders, bipartisan lawmakers, and even President Trump, who remains undecided on the broadcast.
