That's correct. Certainly every one of our chaplains belongs to a faith group and we are accountable to that faith group for our mandate and our licence to exercise ministry. So while a female chaplain from the Roman Catholic church can exercise the military role of a chaplain in providing care and counsel, and in deploying and providing spiritual support to military members, the church does not permit a female member of the Roman Catholic church to be ordained or to exercise the sacraments of the church. So any limitation that would be imposed upon them by virtue of their gender is imposed by the limitations of their faith community and not by the chaplaincy.
