Although I disagree with the Church's stance on birth control, it would be against their doctrine. But it gets into murky areas, doesn't it? For example, Bon Secour Health Systems is a huge faith-based healthcare organization. However, all of their employees cannot possibly be Catholic. Why should the Church impose a faith-based doctrine on their employees?
Well to play Angel's Advocate here.. the Church would say they aren't imposing anything on anyone. People have a choice to work there and presumably know the rules and benefits before they sign up.
The Administration took the opposite view. I think this will end up being decided in the courts of course.
The employees of any church owned organization are free to engage in activities the Church does not approve/condone; they just couldn't require the Church to help pay for them, which is why Dolan was so seemingly peeved.
"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives." Winter is Coming Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die. As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
