Catholic Military Life

With tensions between the U.S. and North Korea at their highest point in decades, Father Brian Klingele, Ch, Capt, USAF, shares his experiences serving as a chaplain at Kunsan Air Base in South Korea. How do the faithful in the U.S. Air Force deal spiritually with the possibility of another hot war on the Korean Peninsula? How does the believer in uniform stay focused and keep peace of mind while North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un spews his bellicose rhetoric? How does the renewed threat of a nuclear holocaust affect the practice of Catholic faith in the crosshairs of Kim's missiles? Father Klingele, who began a one-year tour of duty in South Korea several months ago, lives with these questions every day, both in his own spiritual life and in his ministry to U.S. Airmen and their families. In this edition of Catholic Military Life, a podcast of the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA, Father Klingele holds forth.
