This is Not Hard

Mediate the "Religious Liberty" issues in Court if the suits are not Withdrawn.


Why people are so annoyed at the Archdiocese:

 It is not hard to figure out what the pricing is for around 2,000 employees or so to expand to encompass
additional coverages- nor is it hard to make it available by election to the employees.  It takes about two phone calls.  You are making me laugh.

  The Archdiocese of Washington, an easy google search demonstrates, has used 'self-insurance reserves' to pay millions of dollars in child abuse/assault settlements over the past decade. You can pay that out of self-insurance but you can't pay for someone's contraception? Across the country the child abuse settlements run in the BILLIONS. Who paid for that? Insurance?  One involves responsible heterosexuals trying to be involved in heterosexual relations, the other involves paying off for deviant sexual perversions. Can you tell the difference?

  You can have no legitimate moral religious objection to sterilization if it is medically necessary to avoid uterine cancer. You also can have no legitimate moral religious objection to contraception to prevent AIDS transmission-which clearly is a legit. public health concern that the government can regulate solutions for. The Pope even says so. You lump it all together in your suit.

  It also is none of your business if married employees are trying to have kids or not. Why do you even think it is your business?

The structure of the Catholic church is single men pretending to be celibate who engage in emotional adultery on a level that would make the mormon sister wives look virginal--and they can't even tell why.
The fact that priests cannot openly marry means that they have to secretly wed- the type of person who is cool with that- and usually that is someone who is not able to have kids (e.g. older women/widows) because it's easier to keep secret that way.  It is a game that turns healthy men sometimes into boy toys for lonely widows pretending to be spiritual.  It makes emotional gigolos  out of pastors. And the church does not wish to help healthy heterosexuals have actual families?  What does the church have against heterosexuals? Does it not see how contraception actually does facilitate heterosexual relationships?  Or does it prefer the old days when women told men the days they could not have under the rhythm method so they went off with their mistresses? Because when they say -it isn't about contraception- they are not telling the truth. They are flatly lying -possibly to themselves.They don't believe contraception could help heterosexual relationships- they condemn it morally.

    It is really time that the church got real. It is not being persecuted at all.  It is creating people who totally lack sexual integrity under the misguided ruse of false morality.

The sexual relationships of their employees are none of their business.
If they find out most of them of fertile age are already using contraception do they get to fire them all?

This is beyond ridiculous. It is really insulting.
You don't want to pay for something that the rest of the world thinks is good for society.
Other things the government can tell you that you have to pay for now whether you think you need to or not-    ramps for the handicapped under the Americans with Disabilities Act, filters to maintain air quality under EPA rules, heat in the winter, maintain food safety standards in all your cafeterias by buying healthy and/or FDA certified foods, and biowaste disposal containers in hospitals, working toilets to name a few. The list is endless regarding what you have to buy that the government mandates you do for the health, safety and well being of people in this country working with or for you.

These sorts of actions make people really hate the church. It was a dumb bravado move.

Mediate it- before everyone gets so disgusted you won't have any reserves to pay for the rest of your child abuse settlements.
