Even for a respected General, this does not cut it.
He stood in a Protestant/Evangelical church and led the congregation in a prayer [repeat after him] that violates their core beliefs.
He led them into sin [according to their beliefs].
Bare minimum, as a Information Warfare expert, he should be aware of the gravity of the offense and not try to brush it off with this 'reassurance' about his intent.
We expect our Generals to have cultural competency and know that we don't pray to angels, nor do we place ourselves in the service of archangels ["all of them"].
