From the first link:
That's baloney. Besides the simple fact that nothing is free and the costs will be passed on to employers, many Catholic institutions are self-insured. So religious organizations will still be paying for contraceptive coverage.
That's their choice. Insurance is not in the bible, and is not a religious tenet.
I don't understand your point. My point is that when Obama forces the insurance providers to pay for contraceptives, sterilization and abortifacients, he's still forcing Catholic institutions to pay for things which they believe to be contrary to the will of God.
The shift from employer to insurer does not solve the first amendment problem when the insurer is the Catholic church.
Companies that are self-insured have been exempt all along from health care mandates.
