The "Notion of Scandal" is not knowingly leading another to sin....why is this not protected for Catholics but EVERYTHING is protected for Muslims?!

Catholics keep voting for Rats who put people like this in power.

Elections have consequences.

These sorts of rulings are payback for all the Church's involvement in government and overblown fears of a Christian Theocracy.

Muslims haven't yet had an influence.

If they ever become large enough a group, though, they won't take it like Christians.

Global Catholic Television Network (EWTN), a Catholic-themed television network founded in 1980 in a garage studio by a nun, has been denied protection from the HHS contraception mandate following a decision yesterday by Mobile, Ala. District Judge Callie V. Granade. A statement posted on EWTN's website and Facebook page by CEO Michael P. Warsaw expressed his disappointment with the decision and said that EWTN will seek an appeal to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta.

The US Catholic bishops wanted the law passed. They got 90% of what they wanted.

I hope EWTN has the decency to either shut down or move out of the United States if their appeals fail. They cannot comply with this demand for complicity in a grave evil:

http://www.catholic.com/tracts/abortion

“The Catholic Church has always condemned abortion as a grave evil. Christian writers from the first-century author of the Didache to Pope John Paul II in his encyclical Evangelium Vitae (”The Gospel of Life”) have maintained that the Bible forbids abortion, just as it forbids murder. This tract will provide some examples of this consistent witness from the writings of the Fathers of the Church . . .”

Judge says EWTN must obey Obamacare pro-abortion HHS laws.

[I want the USA back]

Naturally. But which major “religion” was exempted from 0bamacare? Hint. It’s the one that hates Jews and Christians, and slices living heads off living bodies.

[Salvation]

I believe they are going to appeal again.

Fwiw..

Judge is 2001 GW BUsh appointee

[mware]

Sr. Angelica will not let the network she created (with some American Bishop even trying to shut her down)be used for evil.

Nope. We have freedom of religion in America.
