Proselytizing a Negation of the Principles of Chaplaincy Profession

Proselytizing is prohibited in professional chaplaincy practice, why?

This is because the professional chaplains are expected to offer whatever services they have for the benefit and improvement of the conditions of people regardless of beliefs, cultures, religions, gender, sexual orientation, status in life and political leanings.

Professional chaplains are expected to offer services without cohesion, force, manipulation and brainwashing care recipients and people. The professional chaplains are expected to respect diversities of every individual.

Professional chaplains are expected to respect people’s cultural and religious differences without any form of discrimination and bias.

Case Study: The legendary founder of chaplaincy, St. Martin of Tort, was historically said to be a Roman Pagan soldier, his religious affiliation was paganism; while his profession was said to be military.

He was however converted as a Roman Catholic Bishop. He paid a visit to the Bishop for the interpretation of his dream. After his conversion and baptism, what particular chaplaincy fit or activity did he engage in?
