Oh now that is just a low blow. I'm just gracefully challenged.

'If this appeal is lost, government becomes head of every religious denomination'
It's a case in which the U.S. government has been accused of claiming the authority to "determine what is in fact a sin."
The critics, meanwhile, have accused the U.S. Supreme Court of tilting the playing field in advance.
But the Little Sisters of the Poor case against the Obamacare law is moving toward a resolution with the U.S. Supreme Court announcing arguments have been scheduled for March 23.
The nuns who run elder care centers worldwide are contesting the Obamacare requirement that their employee insurance plans cover abortion pills.
The Becket Fund, which is working on behalf of the nuns, said the high court will decide whether the Little Sisters of the Poor and other faith-based ministries can be forced to change their health-care plans "to offer drugs that violate their religious beliefs when those same drugs could be made available through healthcare exchanges."

I was wondering when the thread was going to be hi-jacked by the Trumpsters, thanks for playing.
The CC was infiltrated by Communists by VII. The Smoke of Satan was witnessed inside the Vatican in the 60s.
We have a “Jesuit” pope——Can a pope be a Marxist?
Actually, a Marxist Catholic is as oxymoronic and demonic, as a homosexual “priest”.
The CC literally helped FUND the homosexual agenda and the abortion mills for DECADES to the tune of tens of millions of dollars. (Michael Voris). My dear father donated hundreds to promote homosexuality and abortion “rights” to his OWN Catholic children. (It is what tax money is always used for-—the diabolical control of Minds of children).
The Fr. Oko Report “Homoheresy” outlines the homomafia who basically took over the reigns over the US and European countries, to instill their little orgy parties and corrupt little boys, which Cardinal Dolen is presently being sued for-—because of active homosexual “priests” (satanists) who were bilking parishes out of millions for years in NY for their little orgies.
SCOTUS is so far out of it - it has taken other-world dimensions.
Outside of diverse state parties, valid SCOTUS decisions are based on federal questions. A federal question is first and foremost a question of whether federal (or state) action is within the limited enumerated powers delegated by the Constitution and consistent with it (or prohibited by it). “Sin” is not a subject delegated to the feds in any way shape or form.
Among other things, states MUST reject and nullify these outrageous unconstitutional realms and decisions this out-of-control Court wades into.
Oh now that is just a low blow. I'm just gracefully challenged.
“If this appeal is lost, government becomes head of every religious denomination.”
It is already the head of every denomination and every church that incorporates itself and/or claims a 501c3 status. That which the state creates, it can control. The churches already ask for tax exemption (permission to not pay that which they would otherwise have to pay) and submit to licensing and approval of all levels of government.
The only way for a church to not have the improper head is to unincorporate and stop acting like a corporation. If you are in a corporate/state church, find one that has the proper biblical perspective with Christ being head over the church. Direct Message me and I can tell you if I know of one in your area.

You might at least note that the Little Sisters of the Poor are Catholic and that they are fighting.
People talk about denominations as if there are no differences and every single soul is in lockstep.

LOL sorry bout that.
Obama lost the electoral college with Catholics in 2012. He lost the Catholic vote in places like NY, something that probably hasn’t happened since maybe Reagan, if then. He lost the Catholic vote in every swing state. Not one state that went Romney lost the Catholic vote, but many states that went blue lost it. CA Catholics are so numerous and vote dem at such a high frequency that it actually made the dems win the national Catholic vote by a slim margin, 51% or so. Which is still really disgusting and shameful. But the electoral college was something like 201-70 for Romney if the Catholic vote decided it according to the exit polling.

Just as they had no standing to make the "scientific" determination that CO2 is a "pollutant"...
But, to what (aside from the cartridge box) are we able to appeal?
This is not what the Founding Fathers envisioned.
I kind of agree with Heinlein on stuff like this.
I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.
Robert A. Heinlein
My two cents...
Man does not determine what is sin, G-d determines what is sin . (Ref. Moses and the Ten commandments).
My apologies to atheists, pagans, communists, gaia worshipers, etc. reading this if I offended your "sensibilities."

Progressives have always controlled teacher training and curriculum development.
Progressives have always pushed for more and more godless and humanist secularization of the government's monopoly-cartel schools.
Progressives have always pushed at the margins of the government schools’ morals and ethics.
By the 1960’s Christianity in the government schools was reduced to a lukewarm Bible verse and Lord's Prayer in the morning. The rest of the day was non-stop godless humanism. What does Christ do with the lukewarm? He spits them out of His mouth!
Since then it is now total godless secularism.
Finally....Nearly every teacher in this nation ( both private and government) from pre-K through university graduate school was trained by godless Marxists in Marxist run colleges and universities.
May God save us and this nation!
[[An important enough issue you would have thought the Catholic Church would have energetically opposed Obama’s re-election.
Did not hear a peep from them.]]
Nonsense . Even the Pope himself demanded Obamacare be passed.
They wanted to foist it on everyone else but wanted to be exempt themselves.
I had thought the subject of what constitutes a “sin” was already settled. The deliberation is not what “sin” might be, but on the penalties to be assessed for transgressions.
Which ones yield the most revenue?

Is that old thing still around?
I think God has defined it. But hey, He’s out of the picture now since He was asked to leave some decades ago.
Sin is what Democrats tell us what it is - and their ain’t much left on their naughty list...
