Since when does the Catholic Church have the right to force their religious values...

[Mustang]

...on their non Catholic employees?

Churches are exempt from the ruling.

However, religious institutions that employ and serve people outside their faith -- hospitals, elementary schools, universities -- have to comply with the requirement to cover birth control if they offer health insurance coverage for employees. That means such Catholic institutions, which employ and serve wide swaths of non-Catholics across the country, will not be exempt, despite church teachings against use of contraception.

Obama Administration's New Contraception Rule Puts Key Catholic Vote at Risk

What gives the Catholic church (or any church, for that matter) the right to force their religious convictions on employees who aren't even catholic?

 

[California Girl]

Wait!

What?

The Church is forcing people to work for it?

Heaven forefend!

On the down side... for the President. He lied to our Church... that's kind of a 'no no'... and, we are the biggest swing vote in the country... and, we have heavy populations in many battle ground states... and, we tend to hold allegiance to no man, or party... only God. Ruh oh! Obama's got a bigggggg problemo.

Since when does the federal government have the right to force employers to provide health insurance?

Seeking the return of power from the past?

Apparently, the Catholic church thinks it can deny their non Catholic employees THEIR religious values.

What's next? Lie detector tests to see if their employees are using birth control?

I don't care what hyperbole you present. He loses the Catholics, he loses the election. I hope he stands firm.

Arrogance.

The Catholic Church likes to set up secular organizations, take billions in state aid, then force their beliefs upon the community via these secular institutions.

Arrogance explains this.

They are welcome to seek employment elsewhere.

God will tell the Pope and them the Pope will tell the Bishops and then the Bishops will have a talk with those using condoms and their genitals will rot and fall off. very simple system.

We also give billions to the states in aid. Without us, your taxes or your deficit would be a few billion more.

Not according the CRA which bars employers who serve the public from discriminating based on religion.

 

[Dr.House]

Lots of employers have rules and restrictions....

We're aware of that. But we will not violate our conscience because your Asshole in the Oval says we have to. Ain't. Gonna. Happen.

He'll fold. Like a pack of cards. He picked the wrong religion to piss off.

Irrelevant, but enjoy your red herring. Our out of control spending and tax policy is another issue. Please don't pollute the conservation.

Catholic Charities depend upon billions of dollars from the state to fund their organizations. Stop taking state aid, setting up secular institution, and then passive-aggressively forcing your beliefs upon the public.

You started the 'red herring' bullshit, moron.

Without us, you lose your fucking White House. Got that? Good.

More logical fallacies from you. I unenthusiastically voted for Bob Barr last election, but according to you Obama is my man. Why? Just because I disagree with you? Therefore, anyone who disagrees with you must have voted for Obama.

I am also against the federal mandate (i.e. Obamacare), dumbass.

Stop trying to pigeon hole people who disagree with and force words into their mouth.

The way i see it, the catholic church is not forcing anyone to do anything.

1)No one if forcing anyone to work for them.

2)They are not offering something that they do not believe in..... not offering somethings not forcing anything onto anyone.
